Progress in These United States

From Software Tool and Die, one of today's EMsil fortune cookies is this quote
Unquestionably, there is progress.  The average American now pays out twice as much in taxes as he formerly got in wages.
-- H. L. Mencken
Of course, Columnist H L Mencken has been noted for being a cynic.  I am guessing this should be dated to the 1920s or 1930s.
