Answer:

No.

Step-by-step explanation:

All individuals should not pay the same tax rate because income is a factor. If an individual is making 15$ per hour compared to someone making 50$ an hour, the individuals that make more should pay more because they can afford it better. Ex: Kate is making 15$ an hour and works a 10 hour shift, 4 days a week, in total without tax she makes 600 per week. That's not a whole lot, and lets just say everybody has to pay 90$ of tax. 90 dollars would be taken out of her paycheck, and lets see, she has to pay 100 dollars for groceries, 100 dollars for rent, and 100 dollars goes towards retirement she would only have 210 dollars for bills and all her other financial needs. But lets say Maya is making 50 dollars an hour and is working a 10 hour shift 4 times a week, she is making 2000$ a week, she has the same bills as Kate, she has 1,710$ left over for bills and other financial needs, she is able to get by, Kate is just barely getting by. Kate should pay less and Maya should pay more.

feel free to change it up a bit

All individuals should not pay the same tax rate because every individual Heyyaz a different amount of property and it has a different income. It would be unfair for someone who has less income and less property to get the same amount of tax rate as someone who has more property and a bigger income. Also the government will not make enough money if they have to wait for people a lesser income to pay the taxes. So in conclusion everyone should get a different tax rate depending on how much property and their final income of the year so it will be fair for everyone and don’t want to get too much tax or too little.
