In honor of President’s Day, I thought it would be fun to try and match U.S. Presidents to their tax policies. For purposes of clarification, I am well aware that tax legislation is Congressional, not presidential, but the President sets the tone for policy and action, so that’s the framework we’re using for the tax moves.
Try and guess who did which tax move throughout the day. I’m not promising fabulous prizes – mostly, it’s just for amusement and interest – but depending on how it goes, I might have a little something in the prize box. So, guess away.
Created the first version of the IRS, called the “Bureau of Internal Revenue,” described at the time as “the largest Government department ever organized.”
So who did it? Guesses?
President Lincoln
Travis, you’re right. It was Lincoln!
I agree with Travis: President Abraham Lincoln
