The top 1% pays 39% of the total federal taxes, and that number is up 2% from when Bush took office.
I don't think you really have an idea of what you are talking about. The wealthy pay pretty much all of the federal taxes as it is. You just want to punish them for being wealthy and steal it from them in the name of the people.
