Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index.
Contents The American system -- Formation of the Republican Party -- First federal income, 1861 -- The revision of 1862 -- The fracture begins, 1864 revenue law -- The attempt of a flat tax rate, 1865-1868 -- A deep divide, 1870 -- One last try, 1871 -- Republicans and the income tax since 1872.
Summary Few people realize that the economic principle of income tax elimination among Republicans can be traced back at least to the Civil War and Reconstruction. The author brings to life the multifaceted debate and traces the anti-tax view back to Alexander Hamilton. This book shows that current attacks by members of the Republican Party on the income tax have their roots in the rhetoric and actions taken by the first Republicans in Congress.
