This chart from the OWS thread clearly shows that the only issue is the 1%.

Again, Raising the income tax rate on them will be far less effective than raising the capital gains rate on them.

It also clearly shows that the number of "these people" is not large enough to have a significant effect without reducing the gov't outlays. The big three MUST be back on the table. Starting with the military. There is no other way around it.
