If ever there was a super good reason for every American – especially Christians – to be seriously committed to be active and informed voters in all American elections, the history of America’s income tax must surely be a catalyst for all of us to urge others to be involved.

The discussion about possibly removing the burdensome tax on personal income, should lead us all to pray for God’s will to be done on earth as it is done in heaven… especially in this department of life. Wouldn’t that be something for every American to be seriously thankful to God about?  Imagine if it could really happen in our lifetime?

Well, a little history of our American Income Tax system gives us some perspective.
