I agree it’s natural, and desirable to a degree. Violent revolution is also natural. Nature is redistribution, whether by creative destruction in the microcycle or violent destruction in the macrocycle. I see progressive taxation as an attempt to avoid violent redistribution due to extreme inequality. Maybe it doesn’t work as intended. An alternative might be an expectation (or government force) for the wealthiest in society to create public works like the ancient Greeks.
