Description
-
Taxes: A Moral Issue (subtitled Some Truths, Facts, and Principles on Our Taxes) by Charles Weisman was published in 1985. The text evaluates modern American taxation from a historical, legal, and biblical standpoint, questioning whether current tax structures conform to original constitutional intent and moral law.
Beginning with an overview of ancient taxation in Rome and feudal Europe, Weisman traces the evolution of taxation through the Boston Tea Party, common law traditions, the 16th Amendment, and modern federal revenue collection. Original printings from Weisman Publications are out-of-print and sought after by collectors of niche legal history, constitutional studies, and tax protest literature.
