Progressive taxation has a long history. Jefferson advocated for progressive taxation in his letters to James Madison back in 1784 and 1785: Another means of silently lessening the inequality of property, Jefferson wrote, is to exempt all from taxation below a certain point, and to tax the higher portions of property in geometrical progression as they rise. In short, Jefferson said, Taxes should be proportioned to what may be annually spared by the individual.
