However, the ruler of the world they live in decides she will tax all taxpayers whose first names start with letters at the end of the alphabet twice as much as other taxpayers. As a result, Zach pays twice as much in tax as Ben each year. U.S. employers are required to withhold taxes from employee wages and submit the collections to the government. This allows one central submission of employee taxes to the government from the employer instead of many individuals submitting separate taxes and forms. Many states and countries require the state balance its budget (i.e. that projected | receipts from tax revenues equal expenditures by the government) each year. VITIIS. A. Sufficiency; B. Equity; C.
