The article I am sharing is from slate.com and it addresses a proposal that house representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made about raising the tax rate on the wealthy. I picked this article because Ocasio-Cortez has been in the news a lot lately for her democratic socialist ideas, and I think she has had some unwarranted harsh criticism because of them. This article walks through what raising the tax rate to 70% on the rich would look like in America. I appreciate that they have economic experts weigh in on it as well to show readers that Ocasio-Cortez's proposal is not as radical as people have made it out to be, and in fact it would benefit the country as a whole.
