But those pitches fell to the wayside after talks with West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin collapsed.<\/p>\n<p>The so-called &#8220;Billionaire Minimum Income Tax&#8221; would raise $361 billion in revenue over 10 years and apply to the top 0.01% of households, or about 20,000 Americans. The White House said that roughly half the revenue stems from the country&#8217;s 700 billionaires.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Under the proposal, the wealthiest Americans would be required to pay a tax rate of at least 20% on their full income, or the combination of wage income and whatever they made in unrealized gains. If a billionaire is not paying 20% on their income, they will owe a &#8220;top-up payment&#8221; that makes up the difference to meet the new minimum.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxbusiness.com\/economy\/recession-warning-flashes-red-yield-curve-inversion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>RECESSION INDICATOR FLASHES RED AS PARTS OF YIELD CURVE INVERT FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2006<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Households that are paying 20% will not be required to pay an additional tax.<\/p>\n<p>Because many of the ultra-rich derive their vast wealth from the soaring value of assets like stock and property \u2013 which are not considered to be taxable income unless that individual sells \u2013 they are able to legally store their fortunes and reduce their tax liability.
