Yes indeed one could argue that also that is a possible way to do it. I know of 3 types of taxation:
1) fixed amount (ex everyone pays 1000$ every year)
2) percentage amount (ex everyone pays 10% of salary)
3) progressive steps (ex 10% up to 10000%...20$ up to 20000$...)
The video argues that in the US all people in the end pay the same percentage amount even though the laws has progressive steps.
I'm arguing that percentage taxation is already a type of taxation where richer people contribute more.
