Yeah, but the transfer is from rich to rich, 85% (99% if you add in the 4th quintile).
So a bailout for the rich is all from the top 40% of taxpayers (and most of the 4th quintile contributions come at the very top of the bracket, so it's really like 90-somethign % from the top 25% of taxpayers (people who earn ~100k and up))
