Around 400 taxpayers (out of 1.54 million) in Massachusetts opt in to a higher state income tax rate. (see http://dailybabenews.com/article.php?article_id=6842&type=read#continue http://dailybabenews.com/article.php?article_id=6842&typ... ). That said, I think this a terrible argument. Changes to the tax code only have an effect if they take effect across the broad tax base. That said, maybe someone should start a "I'll pay higher income taxes if 1,000,000 people join me" petition on Pledgebank.
