Here's the tax rates for the U.S.:

And keep in mind, the KEY word is "taxable income". So if you can write enough shit off as deductions you'll end up with a lot less "taxable income" as opposed to your real income.
That's why I think a flat tax of say 15% would solve the tax "problem" in the U.S.
It would make me pay more and also all the EVIL billionaires would actually pay more as well.
No deductions, no bullshit. EVERYBODY pay 15% and the revenue would go through the roof and then Congress could spend even more and get us in a few more wars too. LOL
