Kamala is looking to change that and have the top 1% pay more and the average American pay less.

If you pay 20k per year in taxes and I pay 10k per year in taxes, then they cut your rate 5% and mine receives a higher cut of 7.5%, you would still "get" more money than me because you paid more. You would get to keep an extra 1k and I would get to keep an extra 750. Is this unfair? No, it makes sense, if you pay more you could keep more actual dollars even if my tax rate cut was higher.

Note - I was already responding to your original post, while it looks like you were editing.
