Text A

There are three types of taxes in the United States: proportional, progressive and regressive.

A proportional tax is one that imposes the same percentage rate of taxation1 on everyone, no matter what their income2. Even when income goes up, the per cent of total income paid in taxes does not change.

A progressive tax is one that imposes a higher percentage rate of taxation of people with high incomes than on those with low incomes.

A regressive tax is one that imposes a higher percentage rate of taxation on low incomes than on high incomes. For example, a person with a yearly income of $10,000 may spend $3,000 on food, clothing and medicine, while a person with a yearly income of $100,000 may spend $20,000 on the same essentials. If the state sales tax, which is a regressive tax, were 4 per cent, the person with the lower income would pay a lesser amount in dollars but a higher percentage of total income.*
