Question

in one sentence describe an example where people pa/y a flat tax (in the us) and explain why it is a flat tax and is medicare a flat tax

Answer 1

An example of a flat tax in the U.S. is the federal income tax system in certain states that impose a single tax rate on all income levels, meaning everyone pays the same percentage regardless of their earnings, thus making it a flat tax; however, Medicare itself is not a flat tax because it is funded through a payroll tax that applies a uniform rate to wages but varies based on income thresholds and the overall contributions made over a person's working life.
