They argue that $250,000 is too low. Maybe they're right. How about increasing
taxes on above the $500,000 mark? That would mean a lot more revenue for the
nation.

2. Or even raise it a bit for 250K, and a bit more for 500K, etc.
I don't totally understand the idea that taxing wealthier people (who may or may not be job creators) is a bad thing. I thought that hiring people (investing) would lower the tax burden.

Am I missing something?

4. I agree. Your idea is more efficient and less painful than mine.

3. Go for it.
250k is too low.
