Taxes and Government

Classifying Taxes Every taxpayer should be treated equally under law America functions on the benefit principle The benefit principle is the idea that if you use a good or service provided by the government you should have to pay for it.

Taxes and Income Progressive Taxes take a larger share of higher incomes. Example = Federal Income Tax Regressive Taxes take a smaller share of higher incomes than of lower incomes. Example = State and Local Taxes Proportional Taxes take the same share of all incomes. If all people were taxed 10 percent of all their income, this would be the proportional tax.
