If you earn 51K pa., the tax is 40%, so you pay 20K
If you earn 100K pa., the tax is 50%, so you pay 50K
However, if the percentage was the same 20% for everybody, then people who earn would not have to find ways to hide their income.

Why? The opinion that the percentage must be the same regarding of the income seems arbitrary to me. I do not see how you can use an argument that makes it OK for high income persons to avoid taxes that cannot be applied to a lower income. A rights based argument would be applicable independent of income level for example.
