I agree, I don&#x27;t see the logic in removing progressive taxation.<p>Progressive taxation is a recognition that there is a disproportionate benefit in living in an ordered and lawful society for those with high income (and assets, though we seem to have lost the plot on taxation of assets). You depend on the efforts of a lot of people, each of whom has benefitted from the state&#x27;s education and infrastructure. Your products benefit from the state&#x27;s legal support, your money from the state&#x27;s stability, and so on. Progressive taxation is a recognition that those benefits don&#x27;t scale linearly: those at the highest incomes benefit not only from the linear support of their wealth, but the exponential support of society.
