Someone making $15 million a year is wealthy. I'd personally put "rich" in the 1-5 category.

Either way, the fact that I make a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of those people and pay more doesn't make sense.

Flat tax does that but will likely never happen.
The fact is you don't pay more. If you make $80k a year and pay 25% you are paying $20k a year. If you are making $1m a year and pay 14% you are paying $140k.
