America only had a handful of billionaires 40 years ago. We're now creating 'centibillionaires'-and unless we tax them, trillionaires

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : We need a rate structure like the one that existed between 1944 and 1980, at the height of America's prosperity, when the progressivity of the income tax didn't end at the very bottom of the top one percent, but continued to a maximum rate of no less than 70% and, prior to 1970, much higher.
51% : But rising wealth didn't require him to pay much in tax.
46% : His Billionaire Minimum Income Tax would prevent ultra-wealthy Americans from holding assets for decades, or even lifetimes, while not paying tax on their enormous wealth gains.
