Alternatively, actually tax the top 10% at the 37% tax rate for everything earned above $600k, and let the working class try to enjoy a little life, with healthcare coverage.

Bonuses paid in stock should be taxed by the cash value of the stock at time of the bonus of shares gained or 37% of the shares gained go to the government to be sold 1/12 at a time over the next year.

Just 37%?

Why not tax wealth+income above $2 million USD with a 99% tax? Someone having 1 billion then still will have 10 million.
