Taxes have a great impact on our lives. In the USA it is a great debate going on and both sides are very upset. The history of Taxes caused many wars throughout the world. The Revolutionary war in America started because of taxes. The salt tax and tea tax began the colonies to revolting. Taxes have always had a great impact on society. In the bible, Tax Collectors were powerful and despised. The history of taxes coincides with the history of civilization. What have Taxes meant to your society and do you pay too much in Taxes or our you willing to pay more?
