Reading this comment made me wonder whether proponents of “progressive taxation” (or fans of taxation in general) think of taxes the same way normal people do.

That is that taxes are not per se good or desirable, but a necessary evil to fund governments. As such, a moral person should attempt to minimize the infliction of this evil on others, and not express glee at how much “the rich” can be made to pay.
