no, with traditional the money your withdraw is taxed at that yearly rate. if you withdraw $70k a year from your account it'll be taxed at the $70k rate
with a roth, it's tax now (at say the $50k rate) and then if you want to withdraw $70k/year or $20k/year there is no tax at all since you already paid it
