> 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? This simple yes/no question doesn't allow an accurate response. How about splitting it: Would you favor/oppose the rate hike if other tax rates were reduced? Would you favor/oppose the rate hike even if other tax rates weren't reduced? Or, to put it another way, would you favor giving the federal government more money via more taxing on the rich without any reduction in other taxes? The difference in the answers will often tell you what side of the financial political line people fall on and their confidence in government. Of course, even this is too general of a question.
