Not true. Warren Buffet's secretary pays a higher tax rate because her income is earned, Buffet's income is derived from investments and is taxed at the current Capital Gains rate.

We all pay the same federal income tax rates. There are some small caveats-like deployed military personel in war for example, but for most everyone else the rates are the same.
