Statement I is false because the highest marginal federal personal income tax rate in the United States exceeds 30 percent. As of my last update, it stands at 37 percent for incomes above certain thresholds. Statement II is true as the marginal tax rate indeed represents the rate at which the last dollar of income is taxed, calculated by dividing the additional taxes paid by the additional taxable income.
