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 roles of women as pioneer were to serve as wives,mothers, and housekeepers. These pioneer women had it impossible to be able to escape. At this job they were to work with men as partners to bring food to their youngsters. Women's pioneer life was not so dangerous and hard. Living as a pioneer brought domination qualities of each individual. As a result women learned to become independent of themselves at an early age it also taught them to face many consequences life brought. The pioneer women had the most important part on the frontier, and that is why we believe that the strongest people were in fact the pioneer women. The role of the woman was wife, mother, helpmate of her husband and the homemaker. It would stay this way for many years to come. By the year 1869 when the first transcontinental railroad was finished, over 350,000 pioneers had taken the Oregon Trail to start a new life. Many of these were women and most were accompanied by children. Laura Ingalls Wilder was one of these women, and she even wrote a book describing her experiences as a young pioneer woman. Other women like Annie Bidwell, did more than just write books. She founded the entire Sancramento Valley society. She also helped with gaining women suffrage, or the right to vote. Wyoming was the first state to declare that women had the right to vote, and others followed suit. She was even friends with Susan B. Anthony, the woman that helped with getting women around the country the right to vote. And also, Laura Ingalls helped with the temperance movement, which was a movement to stop the drinking of alcohol.
During the 1800's slavery began to increase in the West. The North worried that the states that allowed slavery would take over Congress if these new territories joined the Union as slave states. If the West joined the Union as free states, slave states would be outnumbered in Congress by free states, so Southerners began demanding that slavery should continue in the western states. Arguments over slavery in the new states helped bring on the Civil War which was fought from 1861 to 1865. Slavery was abolished in the United States in 1865.
