Original Note:
Before 1913, goods were taxed and not income. This tax made many standard goods unafordable to many americans. Basic items taken for granted could obly be purchased by the rich. Hence the 1913 change in tax law. https://teachdemocracy.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-11-3-b-the-income-tax-amendment-most-thought-it-was-a-great-idea-in-1913.html#:~:text=Before%201913%2C%20federal%20government%20revenues,goods%20than%20rich%20people%20did.
