Furthermore, the 7.1% (31-44k), 8.1% (44-56k), and 10.4% (56-286k) rates seem pretty excessive when those rates could be made significantly more progressive if a new bracket between 150k and 286k were created at a decently higher marginal rate, giving these 31-150k people much more productive dollars (these dollars will immediately be put back into the economy in the larger CA cities).

The very reasonable argument questioning this 13.3% top-level rate is: do the outcomes match the investment?
