Answer:

A higher income pays a higher percentage in taxes.

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.

Which is an example of an inherent power of the federal government?
PolarNik [594]

Answer:

Here you have some examples:

-Regulating immigration

-Acquiring territory

-Ending labor strikes

-Regulation of commerce

-Declaring war

-Raise and maintain armed forces

Explanation:

    Inherent Powers are not granted by the Constitution. However, the U.S. Government perceives that it is logical and reasonable to give them to the president and the Congress. These powers are usually analised by courts and are legitimate, despite not being explicitly exhibited in the Constitution as formerly said. Additionally, the inherent powers of the president are derived from the vaguely worded “Vesting Clause” in Article II. These documents state that “the executive Power shall be vested in a President.”
