  Its subtle, but its definitely not neutral. The issue is that the (extremely short and light on any meaningful discussion of the issue) article is presenting this situation from the perspective of the inconvenienced Billionaire and from the perspective of how much tax revenue is being lost. This immediately frames progressive tax policies, in the readers mind, as having "bad" outcomes, since the outcomes for the Billionaire and the tax base are "bad". No government policy is going to have completely positive outcomes for all parties all of the time and cherry picking two "bad" outcomes is the problem. Assuming for the moment that it should even continue to be legal for people to amass that level of wealth, the challenges the Billionaire class face should be the absolute lowest possible priority for public policy. The fact that it's the first talking point is the issue. There are myriad ways this article could be written that don't focus on how "hard" these policies are for the Billionaire class and instead focus on how good they are for everyone else.
