The highest tax bracket is not that big of a number in a two income home near a major city.

i disagree. when you compare tax payments, if i pay a higher percentage of my income than you, than i paid more in taxes in relation to income.
if someone makes 10 times more than me, that doensn't correlate to ten times more in taxes.
dollar wise, romney may have paid more. but in relation to income, who paid more? obama surely makes nowhere near what romney makes per year.
if he made 80% less, than 'fair' would dictate 80% less in taxes. is that the case? that's what i'm asking, because i don't know. but it doubt it. but since dell asserts it's a fact, i'd like to see the numbers.
