The "Stats" are only misleading when you try to interpret them which is unnecessary as they are simply numbers.
Regardless of who makes the most money, the fact is, the "Rich" are supporting this country and the Poor are not. We have so many social programs now that we begin to closely resemble France and not the country of principles instituted by the forefathers; that of a country of self sufficient people, small government and capital
Your idea "Smacks" of redistribution of wealth. This was tried once, in the USSR and as you may note from History, it failed. Because people were involved and power is the ultimate aphrodisiac to some.
So as 5% of the Most wealthy people are paying 95% of the tax base, what is the problem? You want them to pay 100% and all the rest of you get a free ride? So just being born in this country makes you eligible to be supported by people that actually get off their duffs and work?
People cry about the War and wont join the Military, Hate the Police and now you don't want them paying taxes.. HMMMMMM
So we have a society of poor, super entitled people living off of the backs of those that feel THEY owe the country something and not the other was around.

2) Taxes.
Flat tax rate for everyone above a certain level of income. Level of income would be @20,000 dollars a year. Or perhaps a national sales tax? I can see issues with this, but maybe solvable by someone with more expertise than I (just about everyone).
4) Get out of the UN.
The UN is a useless impediment to our national interests. College debate societies are of more use.
