Yes. Higher taxes for the rich are always the answer. They alone can afford to cover the costs. For anyone making $1 mil/yr USD or less, your taxes from all sources should be $0. The lowest paid citizens are the hardest workers; we deserve a break.

right, so everyone who isn't you should pay higher taxes... but not you, you shouldn't pay any! because you're not rich! you're just a low paid hard working person.

Funny thing about that though, is the people making milllions don't think they are rich either.

1 million is too high. Start at 250K as the lowest taxed (not counting below that which is zero) and it goes up proportionally from there. And no cap in it either, if someone makes a trillion their tax should be over 100%.
