\nAlexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who just took her House seat to represent the Bronx, has sparked headlines by suggesting tax rates as high as 70 percent to finance a \u201cGreen New Deal.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, \u00a0said in an interview with Anderson Cooper on Sunday’s 60 Minutes, “There’s an element where, yeah, people are going to have to start paying their fair share in taxes,” she said. “Once you get to the tippy-tops, on your 10-millionth dollar, sometimes you see tax rates as high as 60% or 70%. That doesn\u2019t mean all $10 million are taxed at an extremely high rate. But it means that as you climb up this ladder, you should be contributing more.”<\/span><\/p>\n
