Not really, they want other people to be taxed instead of them. Of course people always find someone richer than them to blame. (Taxes are already very progressive in France).

Even if rich people "cheat" and pay a smaller percentage than lower brackets, they still provide the overwhelming amount of tax dollars. The idea that rich people dont pay their share (whatever that is suppossed to mean, a moral premise that is very nonobvious) is silly.

Your comment is contradictory. If rich people pay a lower percentage than lower brackets, that corresponds exactly to the idea that they don’t pay their share. According to your logic, if the rich represented 85% of tax dollars (an overwhelming amount) and 99% of the total wealth/income, they should be let off the hook
