<human>:  A country used to have a tax rate of 20%. They raised it to 30%. In that same time frame, John went from making 1,000,000 a year to 1,500,000 a year. How much more does he pay in taxes now compared to then?
<bot>: How much did John pay in taxes at 20%? ** At 20% he paid .2*1000000=$<<.2*1000000=200000>>200,000
How much does John pay in taxes now? ** Now he pays 1500000*.3=$<<1500000*.3=450000>>450,000
How much more does John pay in taxes now compared to then? ** So he pays an extra 450000-200000=$<<450000-200000=250000>>250000
#### 250000
