Progressive taxation is wealth redistribution. What definition of "wealth redistribution" are you working off of? In my opinion, it's just word-trickery to call it anything else: Take money from A, and give to B. As opposed to: Take money from A, pay C to provide service to B, so that B doesn't have to pay. Moral discussion about "taking" vs "voluntarily giving" aside, of course. That never ends productively.
