Yes, but for the ultra-rich only, and lower the income tax for low-income, middle-class, and even upper-middle class.
The rich should be forced to pay their taxes IN GENERAL. There are too many policies that benefit wealthier folk that the middle class and poor individuals with never have access to.

Lower taxes depending on what class or how much they make, and to compensate for it raise it for the rich
