That article terribly disingenuous.
Our top 10 percent gets a bigger slice to start, but it also pays a much higher share of the tax
I love how the word "but" gets thrown in there. They pay more because they have a bigger slice! It's how progressive taxation works! There's no but. The one surprising result is Sweden. And the part about taxing regressively and putting the money toward the poor... well, it's good to see that we're defending that poor people are the middle class' problem and also that we're taking money from the poor, only to give it back later. Why not cut out the middle man?
