This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. The title of your petition, which calls for higher paid people to have higher National Insurance contradicts your request that "everyone pays the same rate".

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
