that's why you have to pay more because Gates is not paying enough

Bill Gates also gives $billions a year to charity, which is deductible.
When you start giving that much, we'll compare you average tax rate to his.

How did you know he's only paid 10% income taxes. Even if he does: 10% of 78 billion still a 7.8 billion dollars, that's a lot. Also
he's a Microsoft chairman with stock holder. The remainder of that taxes will be filed under Microsoft business incomes.

Because of his wealth, Bill has many attornies working to advise him on how to keep his taxes low. Perhaps you've noticed that he set up the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and donating hundreds of millions of dollars that free him of taxes. I would not be surprised if he also purchased tax-free financial instruments. The strategies keep his taxes lower (but not low).

Where do you get the idea that he only pays 10% in taxes?
You should keep in mind that he had given away nearly half of all the money he ever made -- much of it not deductibile due to his income -- and is STILL the richest person in the world.

Bill Gates doesn't pay 10% in taxes. He pays 39.6% on his salary (the top marginal rate) and 15% on capital gains (just like every other American.

99% of taxes are paid by 1% of rich!.
and
1% of taxes are paid by rest of the 99%!
The stats are amazing similar to the above.
Let us have a simple FLAT tax per person per year!. So, everybody shares the burden equally and Bill Gates can get away with piddly 0.000000000001 % of taxes
