The History and Controversy of Taxation in the United States

This project explores the historical evolution of taxation in the United States, from the internal taxes of the late 18th century to modern state tax rates. It discusses key developments, such as the introduction of taxes post-War of 1812 and the establishment of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in 1864. The project highlights differing opinions on taxation, with a focus on the burden it places on individuals, especially in states like California and Texas. Additionally, a "wish list" of desired items with associated tax implications is provided, reflecting consumer attitudes toward spending and taxation.
