I think policymakers would link social security payments to inflation to help the recipients with the increased cost of living due to inflation of prices also. I don't think small increases due to a low rate of inflation is a downside because the low rate of inflation means goods and services will not increase much in price so will still be relatively affordable.

Simora [160]

Answer:

b, c and a

Explanation:

Ability to pay principle refers to an economic principle that states that the amount of tax an individual pays should be <u>dependent on the level of burden the tax will create relative to the wealth</u> of the individual.

Based on the above definition, the first category will be:

1. Local property taxes support elementary and secondary schools. <em>This tax will definitely generate the biggest tax burden of the 3 cases in the scenario.</em>

2. An airport trust fund collects a tax on each plane ticket sold and uses the money to improve airports and the air traffic control system. <em>Obviously this tax will be of a higher burden than paying national park entrance fees but will not be as heavy as local property taxes</em>

3. Visitors to many national parks pay an entrance fee. <em>Park entrance fees will be of the lightest burden of the three cases in the scenario.</em>
