### Comment:
For arguments sake, 191k is probably not average income which would be the 33% tax bracket.

### REPLY:
Are you just ignoring the state tax or something to keep arguing? 
  
 Normal wage plus this gain at mid-20's fed tax. Most states will add mid single digits state income tax. That's 30%. He doesn't need to be in the 32% fed bracket for my original statement to be roughly correct about total tax burden.
