I don't know how to find that (specific) information.
But, Single Filing Status (2014)
10% on taxable income from $0 to $9,075, plus
15% on taxable income over $9,075 to $36,900, plus
25% on taxable income over $36,900 to $89,350, plus
28% on taxable income over $89,350 to $186,350, plus
33% on taxable income over $186,350 to $405,100, plus
35% on taxable income over $405,100 to $406,750, plus
39.6% on taxable income over $406,750.
If you make $410,000 a year you are in the 39% bracket.
If you make $2,000,000 a year you are in the 39% bracket.
The person making $410,000 is being unfairly punished.
Our tax brackets should tax the above people differently.

Why not tax everyone at the same rate? Earn very little; pay very little tax. Earn A LOT; pay A LOT of tax.
Because we live in an industrialized country. We have a military, space program, federally funded medical research, nice highways, safe bridges, safe dams, we dredge shipping canals, we have the CIA/FBI to keep us safe, we have a EPA and FDA to keep our water, medicine, and food safe, ex.ex.ex.
If we taxed everyone at the same rate, we would no longer have the tax dollars to be a modern industrialized country.
Also American workers who make $17,000 a year, would not be able to pay their bills, if they were taxed at a flat tax rate.
A flat tax/fair tax helps the rich and hurts the middle class.

Not true at all. Just establish a flat tax rate that pays for it all.
