2% is contribution for education as a surcharge on AGI, 50% would be minimum tax on all income above 1 million, even if it is from capital gains (which get a large tax break).

corporate executives won't be getting obscene amounts of compensations if individual tax rates for incomes over $1 million were 50% to 75%.
