Most people agree that taxes must be paid. Government couldn’t run without money. So people don’t argue against taxes. They just argue about how taxes should be collected.
At present the federal government works with a "progressive tax". The tax covers a percentage of people’s wages. Not everyone pays the same percentage of his salary in taxes. Taxpayers fall into different "tax brackets" depending on their income. Poor people are in a low tax bracket. They pay the smallest percentage of income in taxes. Middle income workers pay a larger percentage than the poor. And the rich fall into the high tax brackets. Few rich people like the progressive tax.
The government took a poll. Among other people, the government talked to Ray Mathers and Eve Winick.
"Let’s change to a flat rate tax," says Ray Mather. "Everyone should be taxed the same percentage. It’s fair. And it’s easy to figure out. " Mathers is president of Trig Computer Company. He makes over $ 80 000 a year.
"I don’t want a flat rate income tax," says Eve Winick. Winick is a grammar school teacher. Her school is in a poor neighborhood. She makes $ 14 000 a year. "I don’t care if it’s easier to figure out. What I want to know is, would I pay less tax?" Winick worries about her students’ parents. "Some of them can hardly support themselves. Why should they pay heavier taxes? They’re the people who need government services. "
Mathers thinks a flat rate would help in the long run. "The country could lower taxes after a while. See, if I paid fewer taxes, I’d save money. I’d put that money into my business and hire more people. Those people could pay taxes. Everybody would be better off. "
Questions:
According to the progressive tax, who should pay the highest percentage of their income in taxes?
选项
A、The rich.
B、The poor.
C、The middle class.
D、The lower class.
答案
A
解析
第1题问按照“收人递进收税法”谁交纳收人所得税的比例最高。利用查阅式阅读法,我们可以在文章第二段中找到相关信息。文章第二段指出,目前联邦政府的税收采用的是“递进收税法”,所纳的税收占工资的一定比例。不是每个人交纳的收人所得税都是一样的,按照人们收入的多少将纳税人分成不同纳税阶层。穷人属于低纳税阶层,他们所纳的税在收入所得税中所占的比重最小。中等收入的人比穷人纳的税要多。而富人属于高纳税阶层。所以,本题的正确答案应是A:富人阶层。
