Yes, progressive vs regressive taxes are a technical term.
- jdonaldson 5y agoYes, but I think it's a relatively new or transient interpretation. I couldn't find much of an authoritative basis for it. It would be great if you could post any links that you know of. There's a wikipedia article on it, but none of the key references exist any more : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regressive_tax https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regressive_tax
