Members phkrause Posted August 6, 2019 Author Members Posted August 6, 2019 16 hours ago, phkrause said: Which U.S. President imposed the first federal income tax? George Washington Thomas Jefferson Abraham Lincoln Theodore Roosevelt Abraham Lincoln Answer: On this day in 1861, Abraham Lincoln imposes the first federal income tax by signing the Revenue Act. Strapped for cash with which to pursue the Civil War, Lincoln and Congress agreed to impose a 3 percent tax on annual incomes over $800. According to the U.S. Treasury Department, the comparable minimum taxable income in 2003, after adjustments for inflation, would have been approximately $16,000. Congress repealed Lincoln’s tax law in 1871, but in 1909 passed the 16th Amendment, which set in place the federal income-tax system used today. Congress ratified the 16th Amendment in 1913.

The Purple Heart award is a heart-shaped medal within a gold border, containing a profile of General George Washington. The Order of the Purple Heart, the oldest American military decoration for military merit, is awarded to members of the U.S. armed forces who have been killed or wounded in action against an enemy. It is also awarded to soldiers who have suffered maltreatment as prisoners of war.

Godiva founder and master chocolatier Joseph Draps sought a name for his company that embodied timeless values balanced with modern boldness. His inspiration came from the well-known Saxon legend of Lady Godiva who rode unclothed through the streets of Coventry to entreat her husband, Leofric the Dane, to lower taxes. Little did Joseph Draps realize that over time his chocolate would become as legendary as the lady herself.

Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin Sally Ride John Glenn John Glenn 5 hours ago, dgrimm60 said: JOHN GLEN Answer: John Glenn became the first American astronaut to orbit the earth when he flew the Mercury-Atlas 6 named Friendship 7 for three earth orbits in 1962, and the first astronaut elected to Congress when he won a Senate seat in 1974. He's been the most successful American Astronaut-politician thus far, serving 25 years in the Senate. In 1984, Glenn sought the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. He withdrew from the race after winning only two delegates and finishing in 6th place. Glenn returned to space in 1998 aboard Space Shuttle Discovery while still a sitting Senator. The next year he retired from Congress. Quote phkrause When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice; But when a wicked man rules, the people groan. Proverbs 29;2
