SilverSurfer -- obvious starting points -- considerably higher top rate(s) at the highest levels of earned income, and (at least above a certain level of annual total income) tax investment income the same as/no better than earned income -- and considerably higher estate (and related gift) tax rates on estates exceeding say $10-$20 million, ramping to rates approaching/on the order of 80-90% on estates above a couple/few humdred million -- and cut income tax on total annual incomes below say $100k, get rid of SSI taxes on total annual incomes below the poverty line, and extend SSI taxes to all income above that level

and just to note -- at least in a general sense, that is a dubious source you cite, of course
