All i'm sayin is she is an extremist...look it up.
I can't find anything that I think supports that very well. I can definitely find articles
claiming it, but it's not very well supported.
She's totally happy with an 80% tax rate on anyone makin over a million a year...
As I understand the idea in the U.S is to re-introduce additional higher tax brackets back into the Tax Code which had been removed through lobbying in the 1960's. Right now the U.S Tax brackets top out at 37% for 300,000 (500,000 for 'head of household').
With added tax brackets, the taxable income over that amount is taxed at that rate- the full taxable income isn't taxed at the bracket rate.
I mention "reintroduce" as in the past the United States has had higher tax brackets which went as high as
94% in 1944, for taxpayers earning over $200,000 a year (about 2.7 Million today). The tax rates were reduced in the 1960's, to great success at the time, as tax revenue managed to increase thanks to the influx of capital from corporate tax cuts.
The idea behind it is that the current economic climate is different from the economic climate of the 1960's or the 1980's which both saw rather large tax rate reductions at the upper tax brackets, and having higher tax brackets for higher income earners can similarly boost tax revenue.
