Which has nothing at all to do with the tax rate each bracket pays individually, and the deductions contained therein for each type of income in each bracket (such as the wealthiest paying only 15% on the top income bracket funds, because most of their income comes from capital gains, while lower brackets are taxed at regular income rates).

Aside from that, I'm always sorry when you completely miss the message or point of what was posted (hint - nothing at all to do with taxes)
