A taxpayer attacks a consumption tax solely by showing that this particular levy may consume a higher proportion of a low-income buyer's income than of a wealthy buyer's income. The taxpayer presents no other constitutional defect and argues that every individual tax must be progressive. Which response best states the constitutional system requirement discussed in Tolentino?

Choose the Best Answer

The Constitution directs Congress to evolve a progressive system; the asserted feature alone does not establish that every individual tax is constitutionally forbidden. Every consumption tax is unconstitutional regardless of the overall system. A regressive feature automatically eliminates Congress's taxation power. Every taxpayer must owe the same number of pesos under every levy.
