No, it should be 10% at least.

We could tax a billionaire 95% of their wealth, and they would still have more money than you or I could reasonably spend in a lifetime.

Oh yeah, I'm a big proponent of no more billionaires. But it appears to a lot of average people smaller amounts are more palpable because they think they'll ever be that rich.
