Tax hate didn't really begin in it's current form till Reagan as a backlash to the Civil Rights Movement. When black Americans were excluded from the programs that taxes paid for, resistance was minimal.
- jhawk28 5y agoI think you can go all the way back to the Boston Tea Party for tax hate.
- x86_64Ubuntu 5y agoThat doesn't explain the difference between the opinions on taxes and it's change before and after the Civil Rights Act.
- rufus_foreman 5y agoThe Boston Tea Party happened because the British got rid of a tax, I wouldn't call that tax hate. Some locals were ticked off because the British screwed up their smuggling operation.
