do you agree with Benton McMillin of Tennessee that an income tax is a way to give something back to the free institutions that have enabled people to accumulate wealth? Why?

Answer:

1. Introduced in 1861 by President Lincoln because he needed money to pay for his money

2. More administration to ensure businesses continued to pay their taxes. If sales tax was high it could contribute to a rise of black market activity and a rise in crimes among normally law abiding citizens.

3. I agree that income tax is a way to give something back to the free institution. because they’re operating by taxes paid by the people.

Yes, I agree with Benton McMillin of Tennessee that income tax is a way to give something back to the free institution Free institution is operating because of the taxes paid by people. All maintenance, expenses, and supplies needed in this institution (like public schools) were supported by taxes. It is correct that should pay the correct amount of tax based on their monthly income.
