Yeah, it's very rare for more funds being obtained from taxing richer part of population. A quick google search gave this opinion of Swiss finance minister:

Finance Minister Karin Keller-Sutter has said that since Switzerland is already running a budget deficit, the approval will likely require an increase of value-added tax.

Yeah, demons like KKS would never consider publically to finance this in a social and fair manner.
