Even the current government realises you're wrong on this as it's not how the current tax system works. There is already a scale in place, it just stops way too early. Added to this, corporations are allowed to pay next to nothing despite profits in the billions, so this is where the real unfairness creeps in, not necessarily at the 20-100k range.
