In fact, everyone pays the highest marginal rate applicable to their income level on their marginal income. Your remaining problem is you don't understand the meaning of the word 'marginal'. First of all goober, you started your rant talking about some obscene comedian who claims he pays 50% of his income to the IRS.... After a few exchanges you withdrew into a circle where you changed your claim and only low income people pay marginal rates.... In fact, everyone pays the highest marginal rate applicable to their income level on their marginal income. Your remaining problem is you don't understand the meaning of the word 'marginal' But the highest marginal rate for the people your talking about is based on their taxable income......which is what gets them to 20-25%??? How many of those hedge fund managers refuse to work because they may be charged a higher marginal rate.....lololol?? What's the marginal rate of a hedge fund manager who makes 4 billion a year???
