I'm sure you know it's a tad more complicated than that.
Include things like indirect taxation into the equation, something that governments have been abusing more and more as the years have gone on, and compensate for any increases in income and wealth equality, then see how we are.
It's actually an abysmal failure of the system if the top 1% are contributing so much of the taxation. Shows there's far too much income concentrated at the top. The tax base should be broader.
