People are sorted into different tax brackets.
Explanation: A progressive tax system taxes higher levels of income at higher rates, so taxpayers with higher income fall into higher tax brackets and pay a larger marginal tax rate. The other statements are incorrect: not everyone pays the same percentage, the wealthiest do not pay all taxes, and tax liability depends on taxable income (not just having a full‑time job).
