Progressive taxes are usually one of the worst and attacks the success, it limits poor people to become middle-class earners, or middle class to get wealthy.

Taxes are already a certain percent. It doesn't make any sense to tax more or less percent to people over certain amount of money.

At the end, poor people dont want to work because they will lose all benefits and get taxed. Middle class people don't want to earn more than certain amount because they will get taxed more.

Because progressive taxes are reliant on certain income (value) or wealth, inflation makes people to pay more taxes over time.
