Because they were forced to pay that much for a very very long time and things were fine? They are paying historically low taxes.

That will never change, they employ highly competent accountants that know how to work the tax system.

The fact is that if the rich don't pay then that means that I have to pay them.

That will never change sadly. The middle class is always stuck with the tax burden. We are also the most screwed when it comes to an implementation of single-payer healthcare.

I'm sorry but 70% taxes on income made after 2 million is not going to be a burden to him like even a small raise in taxes would be to me.

Again, they will find a work around to a heavy tax burden. This issue, In my opinion, is how we are using the money we got.

Us poor and middle class should absolutely be pushing for lower taxes for us. I refuse to be an advocate for the rich.

I don't advocate for the rich either but I also don't believe they should be taxed that heavily (70%).
