well, I'm not staking out a stance on the proper tax rates, but no one pays that % of their real gross earned income.
I'd be amazed if any of the richest among us actually pays anywhere near 1/3, despite living in that bracket. if they do, they are the dumbest mutha *****uas alive.
However, many of the wealthiest have inherited the splendors of those born before them and thus live off of unearned income.
