Summary: The traditional definition of tax progressivity is being rewritten and this change could have serious ramifications for democratic decision-making. Up to now, tax progressivity has meant that, as an individual or household earned more income, they not only paid more in taxes but also paid a proportionately higher share of their income in taxes. The concept of tax progressivity is being fundamentally altered so that, rather than a progressively increasing tax burden, there is a fairly large and growing group of people who do not contribute to taxes in any meaningful way and another group of people, fairly small, that carry the overwhelming burden of taxes.
