It would only apply to incomes above $10 million a year. And from a starting marginal rate of 35%, if we have a shutdown all 365 days of the year, the rate would go up to 72%, so even for annual incomes above $10 million, government wouldn't get all of that.

How to prevent government shutdowns

If government shutdowns hurt oligarchs more than they hurt poor people, we would never have a government shutdown in this country.

Imagine we had a law that said that for every single day that the government is shutdown, the marginal income tax rate for that calendar year for people earning more than $10 million a year goes up by 0.1%. The longer the shutdown is, the more that oligarchs have to pay in income tax. No more shutdowns.
