I have never learned of any math in existence where $200,000 is "more" than $1 million. The pool of money that paid money came from has no bearing on whether or not $1 million is more than $200,000.
$1 million is more than $200,000, fact.

You're equating voluime of dollars with the word more of course. I'm purposefully playing with that word to make a point that "more" is disputable in how it's applied to the entire debate. I'm not disputing which is a bigger resulting number.
Nobody disputes that a richer person pays a higher volume of dollars(often called more) in taxes. They also pay a lesser percentage rate (shall we say they pay less?).
They pay more while paying less. It's accurate.
I also made a point that the word more could be used to describe who sacrifices more when giving the exact same amount of money.
