Not difficult is it.....they therefore pay more taxes....

They don't just pay more, they pay more as a portion of their income. I'm fine with that, but they ALREADY pay more as a portion of their income. The fact that they are wealthier and have higher incomes doesn't justify continuing to increase their relative tax burden. And doing so isn't harmless to those who's income is low enough not to be directly effected.
