I can officially tell you that the 1% is paying more. Along with that, section 179 deductions are going away in 2014. Does any of this affect the .1%? The answer is probably not.
Does it affect the 1%. Yes it does. So you can enjoy the rest of your day, I can promise I will be paying more in 2014 and the way it appears, considerably more.
As Bill Gates said he is past worrying about the toilet paper bill. You have the money to support a decent lifestyle and these extra taxes probably will not even be noticed on the day to day level. Take 4% out of someones paycheck who is making 30k a year and they will notice it. Worse the economy will notice it as they typically spend 100% of their income and now they will have less income.

Is it fair the rich pay more? I doubt it but it does make for a better society according to history.
