00000 - 9999 = 0%
10000 - 19999 = 10%
20000 - 29999 = 22%
30000 - 39999 = 35%
40000 and above = 60%

1.)Calculate the marginal tax rate (MTR) and average tax rate (ATR)for a person earning $15,000 and one earning $35,000.

2.)Is this tax system progressive, regressive, or proportional?Describe fully
