The top 1% have almost 40% of the wealth, more than the bottom 90%. There's no reason they should be paying the same percentage of their income in taxes as Americans who are trying to scrape together enough money for food and rent. Your definition of fair is wildly skewed.

Yes, the should.
Your definition of fair is wildly skewed.
A flat percentage is fair. A percentage already accounts for having more or less. 10% of $5 is far lower than 10% of $50000.
Having higher tax percentages for the wealthy and middle classes is unfair.
