A flat tax plan is the same tax rate for all incomes.
A regressive tax plan is the same tax rate regardless of income level and the proportion of income that goes toward taxes decreases as you earn more income.
A progressive tax plan, as your income increases, the percentage of taxes you pay to the government also increases.
