Most countries have different rates on that sort of income. CanĀ“t imagine, U.S. does different.

Ah, thanks for the chart.. Interesting thing. Now i know better why so many people from germany are leaving our country to work in the united states....

So "$0 - $11,200 10% of the amount over $0" means even the first 11200 $ are taxable ? Hm...
