Original Note:
The 1913 income tax was generally seen by many Americans as a fairer alternative to tariffs, which disproportionately affected the working class. Tariffs fell heavily on consumers, especially working-class people who spent a larger portion of their income on goods. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2013/04/14/income-tax-turns-100/2081901/ https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/constitutional-amendments-amendment-16-income-taxes
