Your marginal tax rate applied to your income, minus any deductions, is what you pay. That is the minimum amount of tax that you have to pay. You can also choose to pay more. If you personally think that you aren't paying enough in taxes, you can voluntarily pay more. You don't need to raise the tax rate in order to pay more. As for what I think Bernie should have to pay in order to not be a hypocrite, I think he should pay the amount that he is suggesting that people in his income bracket should pay. Is it really unreasonable to expect that Bernie "man of the people" Sanders actually lead by example?
