If you pay 925.00 a month rent and my take home pay is 2500 what percentage goes to rent?

Generally, rent as a percentage of income is based on one's GROSS income (before taxes, insurance, and other deductions). Gross income should be obvious if you are salaried and easily calculable by multiplying your hourly wage by 2080 if you are a fulltime hourly employee. Obviously, working backward can be more difficult because you must take into account your own situation and taxes. Under the assumption you are in a 25% tax bracket, 2500 net take home is approximately 2500 x (100 "gross"/75 "net") or just over 3300 gross income. 925/month rent is approximately 925 rent/3300 "gross" x 100% or 28% of your gross income.

Should the rich have to pay a greater portion of their income in taxes than the poor why or why not?

The rich do in fact pay a higher percentage of their income in income tax, because we have a progressive income tax based on six different tax brackets, where the higher your income is the higher a percentage tax bracket you will be in. Depends on which country you're in. In the US, this is not the case.
