Generally, in terms of “Fairness” people view the tax burden as who is inconvenienced most. Saying “lower income people… will pay more of their income in taxes” is saying that lower income people are more inconvenienced. Even if my income is 10x that of the “lower income” class of people, and I pay more absolute taxes, its less burdensome to me to do that, because I presumably have already secured housing, and basic food, and basic transit, and that tax money I spent is of lesser marginal value.
