Well how would two of our greatest Presidents handle the current tax fights on Capitol Hill? True, there was no income tax then, but other tariffs and taxes created situations too. See this article in AccountingToday by Roger Russell:

I guess this kind of tells us that it doesn’t matter what great man levys the tax, unless the majority feel that the tax is justified, there will always be feelings of being singled out and that this wouldn’t happen in America 150 or 200 years ago (Oh yeah, it did.)
Remember, for financial, accounting and tax musings,
You can count on us to count for you!
