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
