Has anyone actually realized the Combined margin top tax rate would be 85% ?

Maybe we should ask for the comptroller to grade tax revenue on the Laffer curve, and 85% would clearly be on the right side of the Laffer curve. The Laffer curve is often exaggerated but there is a clear point where it happens. There is no reason for a 15% tax increase from 39 to 45 to result in a direct 15% increase in revenue in that bracket.
Comptrollers already have a hard time rating things as they are, so I don't think that is a good idea. Not because I disagree with you but because it is very hard to simulate
