First of all 400 people constitute about 0.00012%. So OK, let's say they control 2.25% of the wealth. How are you ever going to get them to pay 50% of anything and why should they since they only own 2.25%?
First, only?
Second, I'll concede for now (since I can't back anything up) that billionaires aren't paying 50%.
Third, regardless, the chart clearly shows that it's not people in the 200-250k range paying OC taxes at an real amount. They are paying some but the vast bulk is paid by 'millionaires and billionaires' as the chart shows.
