There's an economic argument that progressive taxes can act as automatic stabilisers that dampen fluctuations in real GDP of the economy. So in an expansionary economy people pay more as a proportion of their income in tax, and in a recessionary economy it's the opposite. This can help to avoid government action which generally lags significantly and can just amplify the boom or bust.
