That's not reading at all, why don't you just explain it?

Basically: if you make a certain amount of money (a lot) you will pay proportionately less than someone paying 7% of their taxable money. I guess?
I'm going to try to put this in the dumbest possible terms

Jeff Bezos's $8.5 billion dollars in income is taxed at 20% because it's capital gains, and the highest possible tax rate for capital gains is 20%. If someone works for a living their income is ordinary income. If they're single (not married) and make over $43k in taxable income, any amount of ordinary income over that $43k is taxed at a minimum of 22%. 22% is a higher percentage than 20%.

I can try to dumb it down just a little bit further. Rich people who make money just from having money have that money taxed at a lower percentage than middle class people who work to earn an income.

But we can't afford universal healthcare, folks. Sorry, the money's just not there.
don't stop there

Capital gains tax rate is capped at 20%, so if you are a single taxpayer any taxable income you make above roughly $43k I believe (going off memory, did not look this up) is taxed at a higher rate than Bezos's 8.5 BILLION DOLLARS.
