U.S. citizens began paying income tax in 1861, when the federal government instituted a tax to help fund the Civil War. This tax was temporary and was repealed in 1872. The modern income tax system was established with the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1913, allowing Congress to levy a federal income tax without apportioning it among the states.
New Jersey implemented its first income tax in 1976 as a temporary measure to address budget deficits. This tax was initially designed to be a progressive tax, meaning rates increased with income levels. However, the tax became permanent in 1981, and since then, it has undergone several changes in rates and structure.
The first Progressive Income Tax was established by Congress, (who under the Constitution is the branch of government with the authority to tax), in the year 1862. The president at the time was Abraham Lincoln.
"Normal" is a very subjective word. Tax rates in the US range from 15% to 35% of taxable income with the average American paying about 30%. State income tax rates vary from state to state.

The United States has a progressive income tax system. The highest current rate of income tax on a personal return is 33%.
As income increases the percentage of that paid as tax progressively increases. If it was a "flat tax" instead, the percentage paid would be constant regardless of income.
The best income tax rates for someone who wants to start a small business is to talk to a tax consultant. Doing this on your own is not a wise choice and a tax consultant can help maximize tax breaks.
The total of all of your GROSS WORLDWIDE INCOME would be your GROSS INCOME that will be reported on your 1040 federal income tax return. That is every amount that is income to you for the tax year.
Puerto Ricans are US citizens. US citizens who live in Puerto Rico are not subject to the US Federal income tax on income they make from sources in Puerto Rico. Any Puerto Rican who moves to another part of the US is subject to Federal income tax just as all other US citizens are.
