The top 1% get the same tax benefits of everyone else... they don't get taxed 31.2% on the first $20k, it's 100% equal with the poor on that income level.

Best part is, we don't really have to raise taxes, just undo the tax cut Bush did... put it back to how it was, "before you bitched about it" and our spending to income ratio flips back around.
