Download or read book The Apportionment of Direct Taxes Under the Constitution written by Joseph M. Dodge and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under the U.S. Constitution as amended by the Sixteenth Amendment, any federal tax that is a quot;direct taxquot; (which is not an quot;income taxquot;) must be apportioned among the states in accordance with the respective populations of the various states. The purpose of this Article to solve the riddle of what is a quot;direct taxquot; that is subject to the apportionment requirement. Since the apportionment requirement can only apply inequitably across the nation, the correct labeling of any federal tax (other than an income tax) as a quot;direct taxquot; amounts to the proverbial quot;kiss of death,quot; as no such tax will be enacted. Recent commentary has staked out positions on this issue that I consider to be incorrect. Bruce Ackerman argues that that the Thirteenth Amendment (abolishing slavery) effectively repealed the apportionment-of-direct-tax clauses. Calvin Johnson argues that quot;direct taxquot; means only a tax capable (without effort) of being lt;igt;fairlylt;/igt; apportioned among the states in accordance with population, namely, a capitation tax or a tax on the states (a requisition). At the other end of the spectrum, Erik Jensen argues that quot;direct taxquot; means any personal tax other than an income tax. I argue, on the basis of constitutional text, the formation of the constitution, post-ratification history, function, historical evolution, and judicial doctrine that quot;direct taxquot; encompasses only (1) capitation (head) taxes, (2) requisitions, and (3) taxes on real estate. The apportionment requirement made quot;politicalquot; sense in the Framing period by linking the representation of states with the taxation of states, and also appeared to serve some narrow instrumental concerns. However, the theory is skewed, mainly because states are not really taxed as states, and states (as states) are only tenuously represented in Congress. Also, although apportionment dealt with some instrumental concerns, it aggravated others. I conclude that (apart from requisitions and head taxes), apportionment makes sense only with respect to real estate taxes, which is the nearest tax to a state tax. I also conclude that a real estate tax cannot be bootstrapped into validity as an quot;income tax.quot; Nevertheless, federal taxes on personal property and imputed income from real estate are constitutional, if endowment taxes are not.

Download or read book Righteous Anger at the Wicked States written by Calvin H. Johnson and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2005-08-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a history that explains the adoption of the US Constitution in terms of what the proponents of the Constitution were trying to accomplish. The Constitution was a revolutionary document replacing the confederation mode with a complete three-part national government supreme over the states. The most pressing need was to allow the federal government to tax to pay off the Revolutionary War debts. In the next war, the United States would need to borrow again. The taxes needed to restore the public credit proved to be quite modest, however, and the Constitution went far beyond the immediate fiscal needs. This book argues that the proponents' anger at the states for their recurring breaches of duty to the united cause explains both critical steps and the driving impetus for the revolution. Other issues were less important.

Download or read book American Taxation American Slavery written by Robin L. Einhorn and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For all the recent attention to the slaveholding of the founding fathers, we still know remarkably little about the influence of slavery on American politics. American Taxation, American Slavery tackles this problem in a new way. Rather than parsing the ideological pronouncements of charismatic slaveholders, it examines the concrete policy decisions that slaveholders and non-slaveholders made in the critical realm of taxation. The result is surprising—that the enduring power of antigovernment rhetoric in the United States stems from the nation’s history of slavery rather than its history of liberty. We are all familiar with the states’ rights arguments of proslavery politicians who wanted to keep the federal government weak and decentralized. But here Robin Einhorn shows the deep, broad, and continuous influence of slavery on this idea in American politics. From the earliest colonial times right up to the Civil War, slaveholding elites feared strong democratic government as a threat to the institution of slavery. American Taxation, American Slavery shows how their heated battles over taxation, the power to tax, and the distribution of tax burdens were rooted not in debates over personal liberty but rather in the rights of slaveholders to hold human beings as property. Along the way, Einhorn exposes the antidemocratic origins of the popular Jeffersonian rhetoric about weak government by showing that governments were actually more democratic—and stronger—where most people were free. A strikingly original look at the role of slavery in the making of the United States, American Taxation, American Slavery will prove essential to anyone interested in the history of American government and politics.
