I do not endorse a doubling of the dividends/capital gains rate from 20% to 40% at a certain income level.

While the tax rate is a step function, I believe it to be true that the first million is still taxed at the lower rate, and only money in excess of a million warrants the higher rate. As your income rises above a million the effective tax rate is a blend of the two rates and rises as a smooth function that approaches the top rate only after several million dollars in income. It is not as if you earn $1 and suddenly all your taxes double.
