Answer to Question 1

The ability to pay principle states that individuals should pay taxes in proportion to their ability to pay. A major strength of the ability-to-pay principle is that it is a useful guide when the benefit principle is inapplicable, such as when it is impossible to determine the distribution of benefits from a government program. A weakness of the ability-to-pay principle is that it is often difficult to determine an individual's ability to pay, making it difficult to apply in the real world.
