Answer:

A higher income pays a higher percentage in taxes.

Explanation:

Progressive tax is a tax that increases according to the income of the tax payers, lower-income individuals pay a less percentage of taxes, and those with higher incomes pay a bigger percentage. This type of taxation is used to reduce the burden of taxes on those who struggle more to pay them. Thee United States federal income tax is an example of progressive tax, and the percentages go from 10 percent for lower income individuals to 37 percent for highest income individuals.

Explain the “Black Bean Incident.” Who was involved and why? What was the outcome?
exis [7]

Answer:

During the Mexico-Texas conflict, President Houston sent out troops to make certain that all Mexican forces were out of San Antonio. A Texan army led by Colonel William S. Fisher ignored orders to return to Gonzales and attacked the Mexican town of Mier. Although they put up a good fight, the Texan army was outnumbered and captured as prisoners. The prisoners were taken back to Mexico City. They escaped, but many were recaptured only a week later. Santa Anna ordered the execution of every 10th prisoner whose fate was to be chosen by lottery. Every prisoner had to take a bean out of a jar; if he chose a black bean, he would be executed. Santa Anna executed 17 men who drew black beans. The remaining prisoners were taken to Perote prison and later released.
