CBS While Congress is primarily focused on cutting spen stanley cup usa ding in the debate over reducing the federal budget deficit, some progressive lawmakers say it s time to start collecting more revenues from the wealthiest Americans. Democratic Rep. Jan Schakowsky of Illinois unveiled a bill today to create new, higher tax brackets for Americans making more than $1 million a year. This isn t about punishment or revenge.

Currently, the top tax bracket begins at an income of $373,000 per year; income above that level is taxed at 35 percent. Schakowsky contends this fails to distinguish between the well off and the superrich, such as a group of hedge stanley cups uk fund managers whose average income last year topped $1 billion.

He told lawmakers that we view the U.N. as an important component of our diplomacy.
