It is unfortunate that the poll asked about changing the highest tax bracket, whereas Ocasio-Cortez suggested creating a new $10m tax bracket. They are very different things.
Edit: I stand corrected. The picture in the article doesn't mention the new $10m tax bracket, but the actual poll question did.
- dudul 8y agoThat was the question. Scroll down and you'll see the details of the poll. The question was about taxing past $10M/year income.
- detaro 8y agoFrom the embedded results table at the bottom of the article: > "AB2: Currently the top tax rate is 37%. Would you favor or oppose a tax proposal that would apply a 70% rate to the 10 millionth dollar and beyond for individuals making $10 million a year or more in reportable income?"
