In 2014 the average effective tax rate for:
The richest 1% of taxpayers paid an average 24.7% effective rate
A taxpayer making an average of $75,000.00 had an effective rate of 19.7%
Trying to answer your question as I understand it:
If you use everything we made (total income) and total taxes paid, our 2018 effective rate was 13.02%.
If you use the taxable income and total taxes paid, our 2018 effective rate was 15.29%.
Our marginal rate for 2018 was 24%.
The problem with just about any tax plan you come up with, absent a progressive rate such as we currently have, is disparate impact on the lower brackets.

Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee
