Why should they pay a lesser percent in income tax than the middle class?

I don't give a hoot if the dollar amount is a lot more than the dollar amount I pay. I care about that the uber-rich pay a lesser percentage of income than I do. Ditto for big corporations.
Why do you feel that way? That's not American. That's not even socialism. That's discrimination, when one party or group is penalized more than another. It sounds like a very Un-American wealth envy. Why doesn't everyone pay at the same rate, including the poor? They pay the same rate of sales tax, property tax, etc. Why shouldn't they pay the same rate as we do?
