PFL Tax Strip

Mr. Evil Scientist, I want to go back in time!!

Ok fine, get into the machine.

Ok, Where do you want to go first?

1862.

Taxes have been a major part of U.S history. One of the main reasons the thirteen colonies began to rebel against Britain was because of unfair taxation.

Why would you want to do that?

To learn more about taxes for my personal finance literacy class. Obviously!

Hello!

Good day. Who are you? We haven't seen you around town before.

I am from the future. I would like to know more about your taxing situation.

The whiskey tax taxed whiskey. Unfortunately, there was a rebellion of farmers against the tax in 1794. The tariff tax of 1832 was used as a protective tariff that taxed important goods. This tariff benefited the North, but not Southern farmers. This caused Andrew Jackson to remove the tariff in 1833. There is also a tax on our income.

In 1788, the Constitution was ratified because there was not enough revenue going to the Unites States government. After theRevolutionary War and the war of 1812, we were faced with a lot of debt. That's when they put the whiskey andtariff tax in place.
