Asking the question what should the &#x27;top 1%&#x27; pay is (in my opinion) the wrong question.<p>A better start (for me) is to ask what % of tax the people with the (for example) top 50% of income, or top 50% of wealth, should pay.<p>If the top 1% has (for example) 90% of the income, then only paying 50% of the tax might be considered unfair.
