Perhaps I’m misreading, but I don’t think this is mathematically possible.

The amount of people who don’t understand how taxes work is just ridiculous.

Speaking from US perspective, our tax code is a few thousand pages. I don’t think it’s meant for most people to understand.
That said, yeah the effective tax rate being a larger percent of one’s income than the income from a second job is probably something that would be understood by most if stated differently.
