How much is the government taking in tax??!!? 4.5 million, half, so 2.25 million gets taxed down to 1.3 million?!?!!?!? Is that legal?

I'm not sure where you guys learned math, but here's the real math:

Dannenmann won 4.25 million. Half of that is 2.125 million. He took home 1.3 million after taxes. So he paid 2.125-1.3 = 0.825 million in taxes.

825,000 is only 38.8% of 2.125 million. No he did not pay 50% for tax purposes and it's a little disappointing that it's taken this long for this to be corrected.
