My reading of the article is that benefits are higher for wealthy, but when you account for taxes paid, they are "more even handed". Did I misinterpret something? EDIT: I think I did misinterpret something. When you account for taxes paid, I think it is still well on the progressive side, rather than being even. May be moreso in the future, because it's pay-as-you-go.
