Yeah you got deductions and if you have a good accountant, you can probably make some good deals. But they cost money too. You can guarantee to cut at least 30% right off the top. Deductions notwithstanding.
That's not how tax brackets work. Nothing gets cut off the top. You do all your deductions first to determine your taxable income. Once you have your taxable income, it gets taxed by bracket. So only the amount of money you make over the highest bracket gets taxed at the top rate. Surely you've paid taxes before?
