Why so low, let's go back to the 70s and 80s of taxing 50+% on income over 200k and tax capital gains the same as income while we are at it.

I'm not asking about tax brackets, I'm asking about percentage of tax burden.

Ie: out of all the income taxes paid, which proportion should be paid by the top 1% of people who make 20% of the income.
