I saw this yesterday at r/dataisbeautiful. It's an interactive web app that you can play with to see how federal tax brackets work. I think it's worth a look from folks who want to better understand how taxes work and not be fooled into thinking that the highest marginal tax rate is what you end up paying. I took a screenshot to show you. Just follow the dotted line to see what taxes you pay at a particular income level.
Also, if you increase the proportion of income that comes from capital gains, you can see that you'll end up paying a much less tax.
