Answer 1

"Worked for a national income tax to help poor people" was one action that Progressives took to help poor people.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The decades ago, democrats introduced a national income tax with the concept of paying a greater rate for those who earned more than for those who made little. The 16th Amendment in the Constitution was adopted on 3rd February 1913, nearly a century ago requiring a federal income tax.

For an instance, a sales tax on luxury goods, an income or property tax, a sales tax deduction on basic services can be portrayed as having progressive effects, as it hike the tax liability on greater income households while cuts it on low income households.
