Answer in Brief

Solution
- Progressive taxation is typically thought to be more effective in achieving social equity and fairness. This is because progressive taxes impose a greater burden on those with the financial means to contribute more, decreasing the gap between the rich and the poor. Progressive taxation is considered more equitable.
- In contrast, regressive taxes can worsen income inequality by imposing a disproportionately heavy cost on those who are already struggling financially. This can result in social and economic imbalances, making it a less desirable alternative for promoting fairness and equity in society.
