    Tax History Project

    The History behind this annual rite.
    3/18/2002
    Reviewed previously on these pages, we offer a return engagement for this timely site, organized by the Tax Analysts, with its surprisingly compelling story of American tax history. Considering the constant political debate on taxes, this site offers a refreshing historical perspective. Visitors can read Teddy Roosevelt's 1906 Congressional message urging the enactment of federal estate and income taxes, or learn about wartime tax legislation during WWII, which resulted in the income tax being extended to the middle class. The Tax History Museum provides fascinating details about American taxation in well-crafted chronological essays illustrated by engaging images and political cartoons. Every detail concerning taxation can be found in this site including the tax returns of seven presidents, among them George W. Bush.
