If you look at the average tax rate by income it maxes out at 250k to 500k, then the rate halves as you get to $1M and make more money in the .1 and .01%s.

Our tax system systematically fucks over the middle class and I'm incredibly annoyed by it. You've got CEOs taking a $1 salary but making all their income as capital gains from stock grants so they pay taxes on 50% of their income.

What people think are the 1% are actually the 0.1%.
