I think you're mischaracterizing the motivations of (most) progressives. I don't believe that they are motivated by a desire to punish the privileged.

Read what progressives like Ezra Klien actually write.

Are you trying to describe an entire ideology based on one article by one author? I consider myself a progressive and don't agree with a lot of what Ezra Klein, or many other pundits who label themselves in such a way, have to say.

Also not completely related but I don't think that sensationalist website necessarily does a good job representing Klein's point of view on the issue.
