It is time to form a new tax bracket for mutlibillionares.
Hell let us throw in the millionares as well...new tax brackets for all!

Billionare - 'Fuck you I got mine' tax.
Millionare - 'Economy sucks you can deal with it' tax.
Middle Class - 'Walk like an Egyptain' tax.
Working Poor - 'Take the money and run!' tax.

1. the top .01% actually pay at a lower rate than the top 1% as a whole,
due to the high proportion of their income that comes from capital gains, which is taxed at a lower rate (0-15%) than regular income.

2. So how much does the .01% own compared to say the middle class?
How much of America is owned by the ultra wealthy super deluxe uber class?
