Do you know what a percentage is? Not only are taxes already proportionate to profit, but they are disproportionate larger for higher incomes in any progressive taxation scheme.

In common English, rather than mathematics, proportionate merely implies that these things are related in size or amount. There is no implication of a fixed ratio. Replace "proportionate" with "appropriately related" if that helps.
