Ed, I don't know if anyone has put it this way, but...

Let's say the number for each person is $5000. That means someone earning $20k/year would be paying 25% of their income in taxes, leaving them $15k to survive on. Someone earning $500k/year would be paying 1% of their income, leaving them $495k to 'survive' on.

In what universe is that in any way fair or equal?
