I believe it's the more money a person makes the more they have to pay in taxes.

This is the phrase that fits most, where it is recognized that whoever has the most money should contribute more to society than those who are most disadvantaged.

"As a country that values equity, the wealthiest individuals have traditionally borne a greater proportion of this fiscal burden than the middle class or the less fortunate ... This is a basic reflection of our belief that those who have benefited most from Our lifestyle can afford to give back a little more".
