Agreed but you could use a chart that isn't 10 years old.
Very few people make ordinary wages at that level so the whole thing is silly.

Aren't most of the uber-wealthy democrats anyway? shite, let them increase the tax bracket on millionaires.

If they wanted to they could write a check to the treasury. It's pretty telling that they also feel their money is better spent on private charity.

Ummm.... actually. What we are living in now is the ultimate definition of realistic.
She's so dumb. Haha.

contributing more.
Contributing is not the same thing as confiscation by gunpoint.
If only we could contribute.

How about the 30% or so of this country dependant on government assistance contribute above a net 0.
If the rich have to contribute more, shouldn't eveyone have to contribute somthing first?
this is a ridiculous argument. you guys are focused on the wrong group of people, and it boggles my mind you don't see it. a handful of the wealthiest people can contribute more than all of the poor people combined--and also FEEL IT THE LEAST--so why does it make sense to go after the people who have nothing???
When I was a poor grad student struggling to pay my bills and student loans, taxes KILLED me, and my contribution amounted to next to nothing. I was blessed enough to find myself years later in a position that pays me a small fortune annually, and now I pay a shite-ton of taxes, and even at my current salary (a lot, but way less than $10M a year), my taxes don't hurt me at all. I pay in the top tax bracket, and if they suddenly moved that percentage up 5, 10, 20, 30+%, I wouldn't feel a thing, so i can PROMISE you someone making way more than me would feel nothing.
The ultra-wealthy have conned you all, i promise. They could fix so many things so very quickly by paying more taxes, and it wouldn't hurt them at all. Instead you're all focused on poor people, who can't really move the needle anyway.
it's a real shame.

By “not hurt at all” I think you reference the marginal utility of each additional dollar earned by the wealthy. They are still hurt equally financially in that it is an extra dollar in taxes that they no longer control. There is a big difference between marginal utility of a dollar and the actual financial consequence.
I agree that the marginal utility basically becomes 0 at the high end of the income ladder but the absolute value of a dollar is still a dollar so it still has financial impact on long term wealth generation.

I have news for you. $1 taken from a rich pers buys exactly the same goods $1 does from a poor person. The idea that one can take something and it has greater or lesser value is silly.

Learn some math. Even though your hero Ocasio says you don’t need it. You do. You’re dangerously ignorant. So much that you believe “the rich” can fund your dreams when they cannot. It’s you that got conned.

These people already bear most of the tax burden
The government is too incompetent to handle more revenue. Give them less and make them earn more.

But who cares? Is your goal vengeance, or raising revenue.
If it’s revenue, you raise taxes on the $50k-$500k income levels. That’s where the most money is. So even a small rate hike raises more money than a HUGE raise on “the rich” does.
