Tell me why you believe these millionaires and billionaires should a pay a higher
Because they made that money on the backs of the working class- see Bain Capital.
Most of them AGREE that they should pay more:

Tax the rich, Warren Buffett says -- and a majority of millionaires agree.
According to a survey from the consulting firm Spectrem Group, sixty-eight percent of millionaires -- defined as people with investments of $1 million or more -- support raising taxes on people who earn $1 million or more in income, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The survey seems to reflect the sentiments of groups like Patriotic Millionaires, an organization of wealthy citizens that has urged the government to impose higher taxes on people like themselves. It also echoes the policy recommendations of President Obama, who has called for revisions to tax law that would levy a tax rate on millionaires at least as high as that experienced by middle-class earners.

No it's not, most of them like the pathological liar pay a lower rate, 15%.
Mittens thinks he should not pay anything at all by getting rid of the capital gains tax.
