Description
This well-documented study teaches how, when, and why the U.S. government instituted a personal or direct income tax. The author skillfully reveals how the Federal tax policies have had a profound effect upon the economic and political life of the United States for well over a century. More Americans are becoming motivated to re-examine the morality and ethics of the tax policies that are currently in place in the U.S. This thought provoking history of taxation would be a perfect place to start. The text has larger print, but no illustrations. 162 pgs, pb. ~ Mike
Publisher's Description of Interesting History of Income Tax
"The only things certain are death and taxes" - Benjamin Franklin Yet few know America's interesting history of Income Tax, such as:
- 1787 - U.S. Constitution prohibited a "direct" Federal tax
- 1862 - "Revenue Tax" on incomes went into effect as an emergency to finance the Union during the Civil War
- 1873 - The Civil War ended, emergency over, Income Tax Repealed
- 1895 - The Supreme Court made Income Tax unconstitutional
- 1913 - Woodrow Wilson thought tariffs on imports caused wars, so he worked to replace them with an Income Tax. Income Tax was originally only a 1% tax on the top 1% richest people in America.
- 1943 - Paycheck Withholding began as an emergency effort to get funds to finance WWII.
John F. Kennedy - "Lower rates of taxation will stimulate economic activity and so raise the levels of personal and corporate income as to yield within a few years an increased flow of revenues to the Federal Government." (Annual Budget Message, Jan. 17, 1963)
Thomas Jefferson - "It is an encouragement to proceed as we have begun in substituting economy for taxation" (2nd Annual Message, 1802)
