It would still always be the lowest bracket, because most people make little and few people make much.

If you look at the horizontal lines here you get 50k brackets:

The first bracket is ~65% of the population, the second bracket ~25%, the third bracket ~5%

Maybe as a rule of thumb it would always be the lowest bracket for the US. I live in the Netherlands, and the mode here is as a rule of thumb about 79% of the average. This gives a mode of 44000 euros annually. So it doesn't have to be the lowest bracket.

Well, that's depressing.
