I'm not assuming that. I'm just explaining the rationale behind tax progressivity. A 20% flat income tax is not regressive by definition. It sucks but its not regressive because that term refers to something specific.
I'm well aware of what marginal utility is and why it's not really equal pain which is why I used the quotes.
