Answer 1

Answer: a proportional tax is the same percentage for all, but a progressive tax increases with income level.

Step-by-step explanation:

A tax is the level which the government imposes on the people that are living in a geographical area.

For the proportional tax, the high income earners and the low income earners all pay the same percentage of their income. For the Progressive tax, the rich pay a higher percentage while the poor pay a lower percentage. For the regressive tax, the low income earners pay a higher percentage while the high income earners pay a lower percentage.
