If unclear, the "reasonable effective income tax rate" was for the top 1%.

1) Where do you live?

2) Are you in the top 1%?

3) In your location, what is the effective income tax rate for top 1%?

Texas.

That would depend on how you classify 1%.

The effective tax rate for an individual earning $400k would be around 31%.

Like I said, even approaching 40% is obscene. 50-55% is absolute thievery. I would relocate from Texas if my effective tax was even close to 40%.
