The point of taxes is to have uniform rates across the board for all similarly situated persons. So it is pointless to argue that Buffett should pay as much taxes as he wants, if other similarly situated person do not have the same tax rate. Taxes will never work that way if only one person has the burden to shoulder the heavier tax rate. That's why Buffett is advocating for increased taxes for millionaires across the board, not simply just for himself.
