The Misguided History Of American Taxes: The Origins, Rationales, And Madness That Limit Freedom And Reduce Economic Growth

The ONLY book that chronicles American taxation from our nation's founding (it all started with a tax dispute), through the Civil War and several unsuccessful attempts at an income tax, through the 16th Amendment in 1913, the 1930s New Deal and 1960s Great Society payroll taxes, and all the way up to the 2016 presidential candidates' various tax plans, examining the Origins, Rationales, and Madness of Excise taxes and Tariffs, Gift and Inheritance (Death) taxes, Capital Gains and Property taxes, State Sales and Income taxes, Federal Income taxes, the Alternative Minimum tax, Obamacare Penalty taxes, and Double-Taxation. Every American needs to understand our misguided history of taxes!
