REGRESSIVE ... lower income
So the full sentence would read: <span>With a regressive, the tax rate decreases as income increases. Lower income individuals bear a greater burden with this type of tax.
An example of a regressive tax would be a sales tax on everyday items. Lower income individuals must spent a higher percentage of their income on basic necessities, so sales taxes on necessary items takes from them a higher percentage of their income than is the case for wealthy individuals. If there are higher rates of tax on luxury items (like yachts or luxury cars) that are purchased only by higher-income people, that would not be regressive. But otherwise sales taxes affect a greater percentage of the poor's income than the rich.
Another example (and another consumption tax) would be taxes on gasoline. Think of two commuters who both drive 30 miles a day to get to work, in cars that get similar gas mileage. If one of those persons makes $100,000 a year, and the other person has a job that earns only $25,000 a year, the person earning $25,000 a year is paying the same amount in gas taxes as the person making $100,000 a year. That's a regressive tax.
[A detail to note: Americans on average across the country pay about 50 cents in taxes that is included in the price of each gallon of gas purchased.]</span>
The strategy of the African-American civil rights movement changed from legality to illegal mass actions.
<h3>What is the African-American civil rights movement?</h3>
The Civil Rights Movement is the name of a national organization that fought to demand full access to civil rights and equality before the law for the African-American community.
<h3>What strategy did they use to protest?</h3>
During the 1950s the African-American movement was not as strong in the United States, during this decade some activists took individual actions to demand their rights.
However, since the end of the 1950s, massive activities and demonstrations began to be carried out that were hardly controlled by state forces and that drew much attention from the press and government agencies.
This generated that more attention to their demands and they managed to achieve equal access to rights as citizens and the eradication of racial segregation.
