The problem with taxing them 1% is that they will still find loopholes to get that entire 1% back in taxes.
My boss gets $5,000+ tax return because of the loopholes she finds.
Taxing her an additional 1% will only mean she gets that back, too.

Twitter's 140 characters don't allow for the nuanced discussion of closing loopholes in this scenario. It will take real tax reform in this country for individuals and corporations for us to ever fix the budget crisis we've created for ourselves.
