They’ve considered it. And laughed their asses off knowing they won’t do anything of the sort.

A 44% tax?
That’s pretty much what Clinton was proposing and the GOP were slamming her for a tax hike.
Mind you that the marginal rate isn’t the same as the effective rate, so the GOP would likely screw around so that even though there’s a higher rate, they’d end up paying far less than someone in a lower tax bracket because their income is treated different (like say cutting capital gains tax rate significantly, which is where many millionaires see much of their income generated).
