Americans willing to make our fair and proportionate contribution
to the nation

- Between 1979 and 2007, incomes for the wealthiest 1% of Americans rose by 281%
- In 1976, millionaires had a top marginal rate of 70%
- Today, millionaires have a top marginal rate of 35%
- Letting the Bush tax cuts expire on those in the upper tax bracket would return the marginal rate
to the previous 39.6%
- The tax cuts were never meant to be permanent
- Letting tax cuts for the top 2% expire as scheduled would pay down the debt by $630 billion over
the next 10 years
