Not quite. Trump v US gave absolute immunity for official acts within exclusive presidential authority. The pardon power is unequivocally within the exclusive authority of the president.

1. The top 1% of income earners earned 22% of all adjusted gross income.
But even that doesn’t really matter because
2. The actual wealthy people who need to pay their fair share aren’t the ones paying that 40% of income taxes because they don’t have income to tax.
