You're kind of missing the point. I'm middle class and I'm well aware that compared to Germany or Scandanavian countries, I pay lower taxes. However, the issue is whether you "pay more" than the wealthy people in the US.
So no, I don't "pay more" than people living in a completely different country (how is this even a comparison) but I do pay more, on a percentage basis, than the highest earners in the actual country I live in, which is complete lunacy.
