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.
