How could a Kantian justify progressive taxation?

Geoffrey T: How could a Kantian justify progressive taxation?
Perhaps a Kantian couldn’t. But I’d be inclined to make a case on grounds of the the self-love example in the Foundations : no rational being can will a world in which nobody helps anyone else. Progressive taxation is a form of helping others. But Kant never says you should help others on all possible occasions and by all possible means. Why shouldn’t the rational agent ‘pass’ on progressive taxation if e.g. she gives sufficiently to charity ?
