COMRADES IN HARM
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is calling for a top tax rate of as high as 60 or 70 per cent on those earning double-digit million dollar incomes – and says she'll accept the 'radical' label.
The freshman lawmaker sat for an interview with Anderson Cooper for CBS' '60 Minutes' on her first day as a member of Congress.
She called tax increases to pay for it, and referenced the higher income tax brackets of prior generations.
'You look at our tax rates back in the '60s and when you have a progressive tax rate system your tax rate, you know, let's say, from zero to $75,000 may be ten percent or 15 per cent,' she said, in a clip that aired on CBS 'This Morning.'
In 1960, before tax cuts, the top rate was 91 per cent for those earning more than $200,000.
