If you are talking the amount paid in dollars or even as a percent of the total taxes received by the government that will always be true. Even if we had a flat tax of 20% and I made $10,000 and you made $100,000 you would pay more dollars of tax and your taxes would be a lager percent of the total recites. My point is that this statement has no meaning, higher incomes will always pay more tax.
