The first thing you should look at is the difference between the ninth and the tenth man, the reason the tenth man pays so much is because the income inequality gap, here is a good article for you:

over the past 30 years the income of the 10th man has grown by 241%, the ninth man had only had his income grow by 89%. Everyone elses income grew by 18%. That chart should show a major crash in 2008 but the government bail out ensured the income gap remained strong.
Here is another article by the economic policy institute
http://www.epi.org/publication/ib331...top-1-percent/
The article basically lay out that this inequality has been driven by people who were corporate executives or in the finnancial industry. CEO to worker compensation in 1965 was 18.3 to 1, in 2011 it was 209.4 to 1. Like I said before there should have been a major correction in 2008 but they got a bail out almost double the size of the USA national debt

So if you buy the line that the top 1% is the job creators, then the best way for them to lower the tax burden would be to pay their employees more.
