The question is asking us to choose which sentence best describes a flat tax? First, let's say some things about the flat tax: a flat tax is a tax that makes everyone pay the same (same percentage) regardless of what they earn - other common taxation scheme makes the richer pay a bigger percentage so that the poor are not left without enought to live on. Knowing this, we can choose the best answer: A flat tax taxes all taxpayers at the same percentage
