One reason is technical. Suppose you say: people earning less than $1,000,000/year don't pay tax, those earning more pay X%.
That creates an incentive to reduce your income, to increase your effective after tax income. Thus you must make the taxes graduated.

When you make the taxes graduated, to keep taxes at the same level, you need to increase the number of people taxed.
