Answer to Question 1

True

Answer to Question 2

Since the marginal utility of money diminishes for each individual, it seems reasonable to suppose that the utility a rich person derives from his/her marginal dollar is less than the utility a poor person derives from his/her marginal dollar. If the rich person doesn't get as much utility from his/her marginal dollar, then it won't hurt them as much to tax it away as it would hurt a poor person.
