Taxes and society's priorities
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references and index.

The 45th President of the United States has admitted to not paying his full tax burden, so why should the average citizen fork over their hard-earned money? What purpose do taxes serve? Where does the money go? This collection discusses the history and details of taxation and how tax dollars fund everything from public schools to parks to improving infrastructure. Readers will get a sense of how society thrives through regular taxation. But they will also hear how taxation can trap hard-working Americans and hold them back.
