although I was talking about tax breaks more than tax increases.

Increases in the top rates beyond Clinton have also been taken out of the conversation. Nobody even considers it.

Your proposal is so far outside the pale it would just be laughed off the stage. I would suggest something far more modest as a start

It makes perfect sense to me to put in three more brackets
39.1% up to $500,000
45% up to $1,000,000 (1)
55% up to $5,000,000 (2)
65% for the rest (3)
