REGRESSIVE ... lower income

So the full sentence would read:  <span>With a regressive, the tax rate decreases as income increases. Lower income individuals bear a greater burden with this type of tax.

An example of a regressive tax would be a sales tax on everyday items.  Lower income individuals must spent a higher percentage of their income on basic necessities, so sales taxes on necessary items takes from them a higher percentage of their income than is the case for wealthy individuals.  If there are higher rates of tax on luxury items (like yachts or luxury cars) that are purchased only by higher-income people, that would not be regressive. But otherwise sales taxes affect a greater percentage of the poor's income than the rich.

Another example (and another consumption tax) would be taxes on gasoline.  Think of two commuters who both drive 30 miles a day to get to work, in cars that get similar gas mileage.  If one of those persons makes $100,000 a year, and the other person has a job that earns only $25,000 a year, the person earning $25,000 a year is paying the same amount in gas taxes as the person making $100,000 a year.  That's a regressive tax.  
[A detail to note:  Americans on average across the country pay about 50 cents in taxes that is included in the price of each gallon of gas purchased.]</span>

**SHOULD BLACK HISTORY BE TAUGHT ALL YEAR?**
Ugo [173]

Answer:

Black history should be taught all year because the school system normally just teaches about black history, during black history month. Black history month happens every year in February. This month takes back on everything that has happened to people of the African american race. This month shows as a way of remembering important people and events in the history of the African diaspora.

 The school system should teach about black history all year. Teaching about black history to children, and teenagers, will open their minds more about what has happened to the African american race throughout history. The first black history month started in 1976, by president Gerald Ford. He started this to show and tell people what happened to Black people. On that day President Ford said "honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history." He wanted people to be more open minded about what has happened to the African american race. This is why we need the school systems to teach about black history all year, so we can help expand awarness of what has happened in history.
