4. I like the Progressive Congressional Caucus's suggestions for
something Democratic that might help our Jobs problems some. The upper tax brackets actually start kind of low, I've heard, those rates kick in at UNDER $500K, which seems low considering where the top incomes in that rate-range.

Raising the bottom of the top brackets to say, e.g., $1 million, would give a rate reduction to those who really are only part of a bracket at the top of the "Middle-Class" tax rates. Wouldn't this seed the lower, more flexible and local, capital in those upper-middle tax groups to invest in their own communities?

Thus reducing the power of large corporations.

Labor IS Personal Capital.

Solidarity!
