The nonpartisan Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center discovered that the top 0.1 percent of Americans – those who make $3.6 million or more – would pay an added $1.56 million each in federal taxes each year on top of the taxes they already pay.

It would further get funded by bringing back the top individual income tax rate and increasing it by nearly 3 percent for families with a combined income of $509,3000 and individuals earning $452,700.
