This week we have been going over taxes.
We have looked at how the Government handles taxes and how the different taxes affect different people.
There are three types of taxes, Progressive taxes, which tax the rich more, Regressive taxes, which tax the poor more, and Flat taxes, which tax everyone the same percentage.
To really understand it, we all recieved a random amount of money and was they separated into groups of people who got taxed by the different types of taxes.
The excercise allowed us to really see how these taxes can affect the poor and rich, but in the end the poor always have it harder.
