He knows that posting the % tax paid by income brackets is bullshite. When all of the income growth goes to the top, then OF COURSE they'll pay a greater share over time - they're making more money!
Facts are not your friend.

Tax/GDP is consistent. The portion shouldered by the "top" is not.

So you would not expect it to be consistent, even though the top marginal tax rates are lower than before this little experiment in trickle-down economics started/failed.
