What the Buffett Rule should look like |
|
The first thing we must do is address Paul Ryan's claim that "taxing job creation means we will have less of it": When are the nation's "job creators" planning on using the unjustifiably low tax rates established by the Bush administration and the Obama stimulus to start creating jobs?
So we're looking at a special millionaires' tax designed to ensure ultrarich people pay taxes at rates similar to not-so-rich people, which basically means in the 35 percent bracket that lawyers and chiropractors pay. The easiest and best way to do this is to tax capital gains as ordinary income for anyone whose pretax income is over $1 million.
