Um no, I've pretty much been against progressive taxation systems for as long as I can remember. Just as I have been against any form of taxation which targets a particular group; in this case, people who are successful.
For some people to have to pay close to 50% in taxes while others who pay no taxes are given money is not only wealth redistribution, it's robbery on a large scale.
