He didn't flip-flop, he bluffed. Trouble is he got called out on his bluff and started to choke.

I don't know what you do for a living or how much you make but odds are good that you fall into the 10% bracket like the majority that pay federal income tax.

Single withholding rate is around 25%
Married is around 17%

10% tax rate is only for the first $7000 for single people and first $14,000 for married couple after that it's 15% up to $23,400 single and $56,800 married.

You left some very important words out, there. "Of taxable income." You're leaving out the Standard Deduction, which means that the first $5800 of income for each person ($11600 for couples, which is precisely double) isn't taxed. So, your tax rate doesn't go out of the 10% bracket until you've earned $12,800. And then the 15% rate only applies to income after the $12,800. If you earn $13,000 (for example), you only get taxed 15% on $200; 10% on $7000; and nothing at all on $5800.
