The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
Ah yes, your friend and mine, income tax! Although the necessity of income tax, and taxes in general are spelled out in the various programs and other services the government provides. How could we pay for that trip to your house when its on fire by the fire department if it were not for taxes. What about the public education system, taxes! Although a burden to your check now, the fact that income taxes are a necessity far out weigh the burden.
World War II Cartoon on Taxes
You cant beat Disney for its ability to just plain simplify the world around you into the basics. Here we have Donald Duck and several other duck characters telling the American public the importance of the income tax! Not only were tax dollars important for a variety of services provided for by the government, but the fact that the United States was involved in World War II also prompted the need to raise and dutifley collect income taxes from the public. This cartoon seems to make it a point to show that the payment of taxes was on the part of the citizen as opposed to being taken out of the check like we do now!
A Hilarious Big Brother Style Tax Collection Commercial
Talk about the state wanting their money from you for your taxes. This commercial seems like a little bit of a harsh example of the state needing your money but at the same time there are services and employees of the state that depend on those tax dollars to work and earn their pay. How would you feel if you worked for the state government, went to cash your check and were told, sorry the person who pays your salary didnt pay their taxes so we cant pay you...pretty poop huh. This is what we pay taxes for and although most people dont agree with taxes but they dont complain about the services that are provided.
