About the IRS: The IRS was
established during the time of the Civil war in the year 1862. The
reason that US Citizens were to be taxed was to fund the cost of
the Civil war. This was only to be a temporary expense for the
working people of our nation. Originally taxes were 3% (3 percent)
of the average working person's income.
In addition to being
taxed on income, US citizens pay taxes on daily expenses for many store
bought items, property (home), gas, and much more. Therefore, money
earned by US citizens is taxed based on the amount of income
earned, and then taxed again while
making purchases with the money left over.
