If you did just raise the 35% rate to 39% that would only raise

That assumes these people don't find ways to shelter more of their
income and with a 10,000 page tax code, that is likely.


39% is not enough.

49% on all income over $250,000, and that includes any income that can
be sheltered in any way.

There is absolutely nothing prohibiting you from sending in 49% of your
income. Hop to it.

Ohhhhhh.....wait..........so silly of me! That's for OTHER pople.
