Taking 15% from each would be equal.
No, it would not. The more money a person has, the less a given percentage of it is worth.
Fifteen percent of $10,000 income is much, much, much more than fifteen percent of ten million. Fifteen percent of ten million would deprive the millionaire of a little extra money to gamble with. Fifteen percent of $10k means someone goes hungry or homeless or does without medicine.
