Answer to Question 1

Answer: b

Answer to Question 2

An ideal response will:
1. Identify the largest sources of federal revenue from taxes, which are individual income taxes and payroll taxes for social insurance (Social Security and Medicare).
2. Note that other tax revenue comes from corporate income taxes, excise taxes, and smaller taxes such as estate taxes and tariffs.
3. Define progressive and regressive taxes.
4. Explain that the federal income tax is considered a progressive tax that weighs more heavily on individuals with higher incomes, while the federal payroll tax is considered a regressive tax that collects the same percentage on all individuals and corporations regardless of income.
