<p>Apparently unsatisfied with the suggestion of fellow Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez that wealthy Americans should be forced into a 60-70% tax rate, likely 2020 presidential candidate Julian Castro, who served as the Obama Administration&#8217;s Housing and Urban Development secretary, seemed to <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/julian-castro-cites-90-percent-tax-on-rich-in-defending-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-on-tax-hikes">speculate on Sunday</a> about the possibility of raising Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s bid to 90%.</p>
<p>Appearing on ABC News&#8217; &#8220;This Week,&#8221; Castro remarked that he could support Ocasio-Cortez&#8217;s suggestion, adding, &#8220;Oh, I can support folks at the top paying their fair share &#8230; There was a time in this country where the top marginal tax rate was over 90%, even during Reagan&#8217;s era in the 1980s, it was around 50%.&#8221;</p>
