Not if you ask about the percentage of their income and wealth generated yearly that they should pay. Typically someone will say the mega-rich should pay at least the same percentage as them, per individual. And typically the mega-rich do not in fact pay that same percentage or more. Thanks to capital gains and hiding wealth overseas and in corporations, the mega-rich pay way less as a percentage than the middle or lower class do.
