I don't think "progressive" means what you think it means. When applied to taxes, "progressive" means it hurts the rich more than the poor. So, the exact opposite of what you said.

Maybe I'm wrong but taxes shouldn't really "hurt" anyone. Ideally everyone pays a burden they can shoulder, and they derive benefits from these payments in some way.
