A “fair” share? How about treating everyone equally? Is that not the definition of fair? How about a flat tax or a use-based tax? This graduated scale is anything but fair.
The billionaires and poorest never pay taxes. We all know that. The billionaires simply CAN afford the smarter CPAs.
I used to go to a local CPA and never paid MORE on taxes than when she did my taxes. She also charged me an arm and a leg for her INFERIOR skills.
Maybe you ought to seek out a smarter CPA. I NOW use one from a Podunk little town hundreds of miles from where I live. He and his partners are fabulous. He still lives in Podunk because he was born and bred there. All his family and friends are there and there's no reason for him to move.
His rates reflect his life-style, smallish town.
The story on how I found him is long and DEADLY boring.

“The 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913 (which some scholars maintain was never properly ratified), and various State income taxes, established this major Marxist coup in the United States many decades ago.
These taxes continue to drain the lifeblood out of the American economy and greatly reduce the accumulation of desperately needed capital for future growth, business starts, job creation, and salary increases.”
A "graduated" tax is one of the guidelines in the Communist book of tactics.
