I understand. Indeed, that's the way the progressive tax system works.
There was also a statistic that suggested, using the same database, that 50% of those who have gains over $250,000 have other taxable income of less than $120,000. Some individuals, 10% of these in this category, have incomes of less than $20,000.
Would you support, or do you think it would be wise to try, narrowing the impact of the capital gains measure to just those individuals who are truly in that top 1% to 2% of income earners and not apply it to 100% of the general public?
