The U.S. should add income tax brackets for those making $1 million, $5 million and $10 million, a tax and federal budget expert from the think tank the Center for American Progress told CNBC Monday.
“It doesn’t really make sense that somebody making $500,000 pays the exact same marginal tax rate on their last dollar of earnings as somebody making $10 million or $50 million,” said Michael Linden from the center, which is headed by John Podesta, White House chief of staff under Bill Clinton.
