Harris has an exotic plan to tax the rich. But it’s not enough. – WaPost

“The bad news is that Harris, like Biden, has pledged not to raise taxes on people making less than $400,000 a year. That is simply not enough to fund our existing commitments and an expansive Democratic agenda. Though this limitation probably seems quite reasonable to six-figure couples in expensive metropolitan areas, earning $400,000 puts you in the top 3 percent of all households. Yes, that group earns a disproportionate share of national income: the top 5 percent of taxpayers take home 42 percent of total adjusted gross income.”
