For examples, let's say that Person A earn $10 a year and person B earn $ 100 year. When both person A and person B decided to buy a bread, both would be subjected to a consumption tax of $ 1.

Many experts say this as regressive because the impact of consumption tax actually would be harsher for people in lower income. From the example above the consumption tax took 10% of the person A's income while it only take 1% of person B's income.

The basis for this argument is that consumption tax takes a larger percentage of income from low income earners than from high income earners. This is because consumption tax is uniformly applied to all people irrespective of their situation.<span />

Charra [1.4K]

Answer: Charities; coordinating negotiations among all of the parties too costly

Explanation:

From the question, we are told that that a chicken farm uses a nearby stream to dispose of the wastes that is released by its chickens and that the wastes flow downstream into a lake that has become polluted due to the waste matter. The local office of a nonprofit environmental organization then collects enough donations in order to stop the farm's pollution.
