How about a new tax bracket, starting around a million, or higher

[Torie]

Raising rates a bit on those earning in taxable income more than $1,000,000 per year (I assume this won't include any such massive increases on capital gains and dividends, which would just be economically dumb, and end up not generating much revenue, while a whole lot of economic distortion, and movement offshore), is more symbolic than a real revenue raiser, that will do much to square the circle that will be tough to square - very tough, without a lot of pain.
