The Price of Democracy
Note
history repeats itself. over and over. the pendulum of power continues to swing and who pays the tax, how much they pay and how the powers that be attempr evolve that continues to swing back and forth.
though those swings seem to be getting extreme at times with concentrated wealth engrossing more of the pie and poltical extremism openly flaunting corruption and fake populism...
the best part about this book is the historical lens applied to the founding fathers and to the end of the civil war.
they are a lot more complicated and less rosy than school tends to teach them.
and their struggles can be seen in the challenges american society continues to be saddled with.
this is not the book to read about how to improve taxation.
but it does give a multitude of reasons to have pride in the system itself and how it has evolved. the best type of history!
