Question

on which group will a progressive tax place a greater tax burden? a. poor citizens b. middle - class citizens c. wealthy citizens d. politicians

Explanation:

A progressive tax is a tax system where the tax rate increases as the taxable income (or wealth) of an individual or entity increases. This means that those with higher incomes (wealthy citizens) pay a larger proportion of their income in taxes. Poor citizens typically have lower tax burdens (or may be exempt) in a progressive tax system, middle - class citizens have a moderate burden, and politicians are not a distinct group defined by income for tax burden in this context. So a progressive tax places a greater tax burden on wealthy citizens.

Answer:

C. wealthy citizens
