NOTE:
Everyone regardless of income that is married and filing jointly has the first $17,000 of taxable income taxed at 10%. That includes scumbags like Rush Limbaugh.

Everyone regardless of income that is married and filing jointly has the next $52,000 of taxable income taxed at 15%. That includes scumbags like Bill O'Reilly.

Limbaugh and O'Reilly of course receive wages and other corrupt income in the millions. Their top tax rate is 35%. But only the taxable income that is over $379,150 is taxed at the 35% rate. The income below that $379,150 is taxed at different rates. That is plural. Their effective tax rate will be below 35% because in addition to their income not being taxed all at the same rate they more than likely have more than $64,000 in itemized deductions in addition to any personal exemptions they may claim.

A single person with about $38,000 of income using the standard deduction would have an effective tax rate of about 10.25% even though the last dollar is taxed at 15%.
