that’s not true, or requires being dim towards the economic reality.

The UK is a great example of how progressive taxation hasn’t really worked out - our former PM paid about 20% while earning millions while someone earning £100k can be hit with 60%[1]

These ‘great ideas’ require economically illiterate proponents to pass muster.

The problem there is that the UK doesn't apply the progressive taxation to everyone, not that progressive taxation is a bad idea.
