Except that it doesn&#x27;t explain how somebody who makes $60k could be taxed at 30%.  That&#x27;s just not how taxes work.  It doesn&#x27;t work even if he&#x27;s only talking about marginal tax rates, and that would also mean he&#x27;s switching from total tax rate for himself to marginal tax rate for his secretary.<p>So unless his secretary is sending in extra voluntary donations, it&#x27;s hard to to imagine how both of these things can be true.
