Raising the top two brackets rates to the pre Bush levels would yield about $46 billion a year. The current annual deficit is $1.215 trillion. I got these numbers from CBO.
If you raised the top two brackets to 100% it would yield about $750 billion the first year. And probably next to nothing the next year. If you don’t get to keep any of your income why work?
