germany also has some of the lowes paid jobs as well ...

define rich
define "more" ... its an old question and a recurring topic

rich people will tell you they already do, and they do, in sheer numbers

where i live basically the percentage depends on your category of income, if you have minimum wage you pay about 30% (i think) if you have a normal wage that goes over to the 40% range, now if you have a small business, ... hairdresser, baker, butcher, gardening, laying driveways, putting up fences, independent as they say you basically start earning for yourself in august (yea, i know but it is like that) all the rest goes to the state. Corporation work differenlty because they not only have income, they also have corporate tax (main reason why giants like apple and facebook would have their seat in ireland, and definitely not here)
but that's only for working class level really, if you go above i have no clue but whatever it is they got lots and if you're in politics, you don't pay anything at all, politicians are exempt from tax.

So its hard to answer, do you draw a straight line based on numbers like "if you have x a year you're rich" ... and how much more would that be, germany is a powerhouse because it still has industry and it basically had to be re-built from scratch after world war 2, that's why they're on top, they got a headstart in the golden years, not cos they got more taxes lol

i think the need for ubi is more pressing than taxing the rich, convincing them ubi is basically an investment in the survival of capitalism should take precedent than forcing them to re-distribute

forcing is never good, evolution over revolution if something doesn't evolves there's always a pushback, every revolution has a lashback

so im not sure because that would need strict numbers and plans
