I am involved in finance and still not convinced that the upper brackets are "paying too much" and some of my clientele agree.

Are you asking how much in total dollars did they all earn? I do not have that number. Could you please explain how that is important.
BTW - I ahve a good test of fairness - explain the "progressive" tax system to an elementary school child, and show them the facts of who pays what. See if they think it's fair.
As to clientele (and liberals, for that matter) who think the upper brackets are not high enough, they are always welcome to send a check to the US Treasury. There is nothing stopping them you know.
