How About This...
Extend 100% of the tax cuts for those making less than $250K; 75% for those making between $250K and $500K; 50% for those making between $500K and $750K; and 25% for those making between $750K and $1 million; and 0% for those making more than a cool mil per year.
Then let the congressional tax-cut hard-liners explain why they think millionaires shouldn't pay taxes (and, bear in mind that we're not talking about people who've managed to amass a million dollars over time at a lower annual rate, just those who'll pull in another million this year).
Besides, the money that the top tier will spend trying to find ways around paying their share of taxes will (if their pet trickle-down theory is to be believed) trickle down to many thousands of accountants who will then, in turn stimulate the economy by buying new ledger books, pencils, green eyeshades, adding machines, etc.
