Let's analyze the chart step-by-step to determine how the citizens are being taxed.

1. Identify the income and tax rate for each citizen:

- Citizen A has an income of $35,000 and is taxed at a rate of 11%.
- Citizen B has an income of $72,000 and is taxed at a rate of 11%.

2. Compare the tax rates:

- Both Citizen A and Citizen B have the same tax rate of 11%.

3. Confirm the taxes paid:

- For Citizen A:
- Income = $35,000
- Tax rate = 11%
- Taxes paid = $3,850
- For Citizen B:
- Income = $72,000
- Tax rate = 11%
- Taxes paid = $7,920

Given the information in the chart and confirming that both citizens are taxed at the same rate, regardless of their different income levels, we observe that:

According to the chart, the citizens are being taxed at a fixed rate of 11%.
