"It's hardly progressive at all."

Then you don't understand the concept. It means that the rate is not fixed as you find with flat rate taxes like sales and gasoline. The very existence of having eight different rates from zero percent to thirty seven percent illustrates the very definition of a progressive structure.

If someone making $40,000 has to pay 3% then every incremental increase of %40,000 should pay an additional 3%. So at $400,000 the tax rate would be 30% and at 4,000,000 it would be 300%.

Indeed, your example provides a comical view of how some want rates to be handled. :)
