[quote=gandalf]- Progressive = redistribute money from rich to poor
– Neutral = taxing each according to their means
– Regressive = redistribute money from poor to rich

I don’t think that is the correct definition. It has nothing to do with redistribution, only where it comes from. A regressive tax reduces taxes to poor people, and increases to rich.
Has nothing to do on how that tax money is spent. A regressive tax could be be spent on welfare, for example.
