Why should he treat you any different?

I'm for taxing the wealthy MUCH more.

How much more than 45% on the dollar should the wealthy be taxed? If a person earns $1 million in New York City, they pay ~38% federal tax and probably 8% state tax, and I think some county tax as well.

What do you think they should pay? For one person to pay half a million bucks in tax on a million dollars of income seems huge to me. What would you have them pay?

Chris, > I'd rather Harris didn't misrepresent me. I'm for taxing the wealthy MUCH more. But, it has to be done in a careful way that works, and doesn't cause collateral damage like the yacht tax.

Catch-22.
