Democrats are proposing "The Oligarch Act", the solution "we" need to close the exorbitant wealth gap in America and create a tax system where everyone pays their fair share," Lee added.
The legislation has four brackets: 2% for all wealth between 1,000 and 10,000 times median household wealth 4% for all wealth between 10,000 and 100,000 times median household wealth 6% for all wealth between 100,000 and 1,000,000 times median household wealth
8% for all wealth over 1,000,000 times median household wealth The median American household wealth is just over $120,000, according to the Patriotic Millionaires. "By design, this causes the tax to wax and wane with wealth concentration, intensifying during periods of rising inequality, but tapering off to near non-existence when median household wealth increases and inequality moderates to an acceptable level," per the group's website.
