[quote=Anonymous]Steve Bannon is pushing it and he's smart. He knows where the votes are counted.

[quote][i]Bannon has pitched various ideas for how Republicans can recoup some revenue by raising taxes on the rich. One proposal would allow the top tax rate to revert to its level before the 2017 tax law, from 37 percent to 39.6 percent. (This would raise taxes for those with more than $626,350 in earnings.) Bannon has also proposed creating a new bracket with higher taxes for those earning $1 million or more, arguing the GOP should act on behalf of its increasingly working-class voting base. Bannon and some other Trump allies have also discussed a third idea to create an even higher top tax bracket, for those earning more than $3 million or $5 million, two of the people said.

“This guts the AOC-Bernie ‘oligarchy tour,’” Bannon said, referring to the populist rallies being held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont). Bannon has been trying to convince Republicans to embrace higher taxes on the rich since Trump’s first term. “Politically, it’s game, set, match — it’s a no-brainer. This would destroy the Democrats.”[/i][/quote][/quote]
