In 3-4 sentences, respond to the prompt below. During the 1700’s, the colonial North Carolina governor, William Tryon, enacted a poll tax that greatly angered colonial NC citizens. This tax charged each person – rich and poor alike – at the same rate. Today, our government taxes citizens at different bracketed rates, often based on income and number of dependents. Many citizens in modern society also think this is unfair. What do you think? Should people of upper, middle, and lower level incomes be taxed the same, as by Governor Tryon, or do you agree with the way we are taxed today? Do you have another philosophy on how citizens should be taxed?
