 | Wait. What kinds of taxes are there anyway? |  |
|
 | Three kinds, actually. Proportional, progressive, and regressive. |  |
|
|
|
|
Proportion taxes are a fixed tax on an income. (I.E. 10% of $1000=$100) Progressive taxes increase as income insreases, like the federal income tax, and a regressive tax is a tax that decreases as income increases, so more income=lower taxes, like sales on food |
