		 you're right. 
However public sentiment is important in an election.  
Joe the Butcher may pay 24% of his salary while Mitt the millionaire pays 15% of his salary. That doesnt sit right with most people. 
Here is the kicker -  Mitt wants to continue that policy and tax law. So his policy directly impacts the tax he pays. It wont sit right with voters.
