100 years ago there wasn't any income tax at all? I think the opposite is actually true, Tax is very easy to apply now and with the crackdown on offshore havens its harder to evade. Top rates are lower than they were in the 70s, but the total tax take isn't low.
- SlowBro 9y ago105 years ago in the United States, there wasn't.[1] So it sounds like you believe the current level of tax take is sufficient and we needn't press for more?
