That's how % works.

We are talking about an increase in the rate e.g. the relative amount not the absolute amount. That's definitely not how % works.
Yeah, I understood that. But I tried to point out that it is really unnecessary as the total amount paid is much higher thanks to the fact that taxes are paid in percents. It's a really nice idea for populists but probably wouldn't be good in reality. What have to be done is limit the amount of loopholes where really reach are able to much less then they should.
