It's a lot more than the US median salary though (31 kUSD). And 309 kSEK is roughly the arithmetic mean income in Sweden so most people are paying less than that marginal tax rate.

Yes agree, but would disagree that most of the tax revenue comes from most of the people. Ie the top earners (1% or 10% or whatever) pay a significant portion of the tax take, well beyond their percentage of the population. I’m not making any judgment on if that’s right or wrong morally, just making the point that 35% isn’t the top tax rate for many but not most people.
