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.

Its great that you have opposed a progressive tax system for as long as you can remember. I'm sure you're not alone.
But the fact remains, there has never been a western style democracy that hasnt had such a system of taxation.
And since its inception in the US, it hasnt adversely impacted the economic growth of the country or the top income earners.
