The Buffett Rule is part of a tax plan which would require millionaires and billionaires to pay the same tax rate as middle-class families and working people.[1] It was proposed by President Barack Obama in 2011.[2] The tax plan proposed would apply a minimum tax rate of 30 percent on individuals making more than one million dollars a year.[3][4] According to a White House official, the new tax rate would directly affect 0.3 percent of taxpayers.[2]
