You’re being wildly optimistic if you think the first two (the top 1%) will ever be meaningfully impacted by any tax law change. There’s a reason the super rich all line up in support of “higher taxes”: they know that these policies always affect the middle class and never touch the upper class. That makes it harder for anybody else to break through from middle class to upper class, which is exactly what the (upper class) politicians are shooting for when they pretend they’re going after “the 1%”.
