Explanation:

Question 13

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• A fishing license (A) is a government fee for a service (fishing).
• A building permit (C) is a fee for permission to build.
• A park facility fee (D) is a fee for using a public facility.
• Income taxes (B) are not a "fee" but a tax on income, used for general government revenue, not a fee for a specific service or permission. So B is the exception.

We evaluate each option:

• Option A: States without income tax often rely more on sales tax, so sales tax rates are higher, making goods more expensive. This is a common fiscal trade - off.
• Option B: States without income tax don't necessarily get more government funding (income tax is a major revenue source, so less income tax might mean less funding), and minimum wage isn't linked this way.
• Option C: States without income tax usually have sales tax (to make up revenue), so this is incorrect.

So A is correct.

Answer:

B. Taxes you pay on your income
