You are either being intellectually dishonest or you suffer from innumeracy.

The richest 5% will always pay more than 5% of the taxes. The only way they wouldn't is if everyone made exactly the same amount of money.

Instead of worrying so much about the group of people who control the majority of the wealth in this country, maybe it would be better to focus on increasing the wealth of the 30% of this country that is near poverty.
