the rich should pay lower taxes than the poor, because they work harder

Answer: Option B.

Explanation:

Tax is an amount that the citizens of a country have to pay to the government of that country in which they live for the services that the government provides to the citizens.

One of the type of the tax system is the Progressive tax system where the rich have to pay more and the poor have to pay less taxes. As a result of this system of tax, the government focuses on reducing the gap between the rich and the poor in the society.
