What are Taxes? Taxes are payments people are required to pay to local, state and national governments. Taxes are used to pay for services provided by government: Schools Police Defense Etc.

Taxes and the Constitution Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution grants Congress the power to tax. The Sixteenth Amendment gives Congress the power to levy an income tax.

Limits on the Power to Tax Certain taxes are prohibited or limited in the Constitution: The purpose of the tax must be for “the common defense and general welfare” Federal taxes must be the same in every state The government may not tax exports

Impact of Taxes Types of taxes affect people differently, depending on their income. 3 forms of taxes are: Progressive Tax Regressive Tax Proportional Tax

Progressive Tax Def. Tax designed to take a larger percentage of income from the wealthy than the poor. Argument for: the wealthy can afford a higher tax and should pay more of the tax burden. Argument against: why should the hardest working and most successful pay more taxes? Wealthy are penalized for their success. Ex. Income Tax with Tax Brackets

Progressive Tax (cont.) A person making $20,000 pays 10% income tax ($2000). Their after tax income is $18,000. A person making $200,000 pays 30% tax ($60,000). Their after tax income is $140,000.

Regressive Tax Def. Tax which takes a higher percentage of income from the poor than from the rich. Ex. Sales Tax Argument for: Tax levied on what is bought. If you cannot afford the tax, do not buy the item. Argument against: Tax harms those who can least afford it.

Regressive Tax (cont.) Two people buy a $20,000 car. They both pay $1600 in sales tax. The first person makes $30,000. The sales tax is 5.3% of his income. He has $28,400 left after paying the tax. The second person makes $100,000. The sales tax is 1.6% of his income. He has $98,000 left after paying the tax.

Proportional Tax Def. A tax that takes the same percentage of income from the wealthy and poor. Argument for: Everyone is equal- pay same % of income. Argument against: The poor need their income more than the wealthy. They need every penny and cannot afford as much of a tax as the wealthy. Ex. “Flat Tax” Income Tax, (does not exist in our country, but some political parties support the idea)

Proportional Tax (cont.) On a “Flat” Income tax of 20%: A person making $20,000 pays $4000, after tax income= $16,000 A person making $200,000 pays $40,000, after tax income= $160,000
