Why Taxing the Wealthy to Balance the Budget Will Not Work...
CURRENT TAX RATES AND TAX RATES NECESSARY TO CLOSE DEFICIT
Sources: Internal Revenue Service and Congressional Budget Office (Alternative Fiscal Scenario).
Some argue for taxing the wealthy to reduce federal deficits. However, hiking taxes on taxpayers in the two highest brackets would increase their tax rates to mathematically impossible levels.
To close the 2035 deficit, the top two tax rates would increase to 159% and 166%, and in 2050 they would reach 236% and 246%.
