Tax plan would tax extreme incomes at high rates
The proposal would raise penalties on top earners, not by small amounts but by steep percentages. Those earning $500,000 face 20 percent, $1,000,000 face 40 percent, and $2,500,000 or more would pay 100 percent on excess income, with several Americans earning above that level potentially taxed heavily.
