A History of Tax
Tax has an extremely long-established history. The ancient Egyptians appointed Tax Masters who increased the burden on the Children of Israel – slaves under Egyptian domination.
As a general rule, tax is the source that is best exploited by government. It is imposed on individuals and companies to finance services that the State is obligated to provide and to meet its goals. On extremely rare occasions, governments have used sources other than tax; for instance, income from natural resources. However, as a general rule, most governments use the collection of taxes as the main tool for financing their expenses.
Tax is divided into two main categories, progressive and regressive taxes.
Progressive tax is graduated and its rate varies according to the taxpayer’s income. Regressive tax is a tax at a fixed rate irrespective of the taxpayer’s income. For example, sales tax is imposed on sales, at a fixed rate, on rich and poor alike. It is regressive in that it is a tax that is proportionally greater on the income of a poor man than that of a rich man.
