Perhaps you could explain to me why you think there is a similar categorical difference between 38% and 39%.

you can similarly draw a categorical distinction anywhere you might find it useful. Like I said before, for most of us, it's who is taxing more and who is taxing less. Wherever those numbers fall is arbitrary, whether it is 0 and 1 or -1 and 0 or 38 and 39 or 25 and 50.
The only reason to define 'left' and 'right' in ignorance of all other distinctions, and choose a category boundary that lumps almost all politicians into one side would be to make a point about your pet issue, rather than to communicate with other people.
by the way, is it normal for GDP to grow in a depression?
