I once got a piece of advice I've never forgotten and passed on a few times myself: no one's ever gone broke from paying capital gains taxes. I don't know where you came up with those particular numbers, but at least in principle I could get behind a marginal increase in capital gains taxes.
Just so it's clear, to me that would mean that given your numbers, a person reporting $1,000,001 in capital gains would pay 70 cents more than a person reporting an even $1M.
I'd very much enjoy seeing Nancy Pelosi having to pay a progressive tax rate. Yes indeed.
