The top 1% pay like 25% of all taxes. If we want to increase tax revenue 25%, we can just double the taxes on the top 1%. This might cause some of the top 1% to suffer the extreme suffering of being in the top 2%.

What part of the math am I not understanding?

>The top 1% pay like 25% of all taxes. If we want to increase tax revenue 25%, we can just double the taxes on the top 1%.

Just look at the countries that have already done this. What share of taxes does their top 1% pay, and does that consistent with your model? Or does the reality show exactly the opposite result?

You'll have to tell me. It's time to make your argument, because it's not obvious.
