I put in $100,000 for "other income" to avoid the added SS tax if you put in wages. Then I walked through all the percentages and got the following results.

Tax rate millionaires with lower effective tax rate
35% or more 236900
34% 236600
33% 234200
32% 225000
31% 208600
30% 187100
29% 130300
28% 130300
27% 106700
26% 88000
25% 74900
24% 66800
23% 61000
22% 56300
21% 52400
20% 48700
19% 45500
18% 41600
17% 37600
16% 33400
15% 28100
14% 22300
13% 16400
12% 13500
11% 11800
10% 10600
9% 9400
8% 8500
7% 7400
6% 6500
5% 5700
less than 5% 5200

Since we are developing tax policy based on the eeeeeeevil rich who only pay capital gains (or even give it the Full Kerry and invest mainly in tax free municipal bonds), we are creating a third income tax system (after the main one and the increasingly hostile alternative minimum tax) to fix the "problem" caused by 28,100 people. And how many of those are "millionaires" for one year only from selling a primary residence and are able to exclude up to $500,000 of the capital gain?

I blame Obama for the 29% line. It was 130,000 when I put in 100,000 of income and 29,000 of taxes. But if I bump it up to 29,001 in taxes the number of millionaires with a lower tax rate jumps to 159,700. I guess 29,600 people pay exactly 29.000% taxes.
