When did federal taxes go in to effect?

The first income tax in the United States was imposed in 1861 to pay for the expenses of the Civil War. This was repealed ten years later after it was found unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. The Constitution was amended in 1909 to allow for the Federal Government to collect income taxes and not to apportion it based on population of each state. The second act was the Income Tax Law of 1913 whereby the income tax legally was born. It was small when born and has grown over the years. Before the income taxes came into effect, the federal government was sustained on excise taxes and tariffs imposed on goods imported into the country. The federal government at that time was only a tiny fraction of what it has blown up into. It got bigger so naturally the pig had to eat, so taxes got to be more and more.


Does federal law override city law?

yes it does <><><> The most restrictive law is the enforced law, unless a higher law forbids lower laws from being enacted. Example- Federal law says all socks will be red, white, or blue. STATE law says all socks will be red or blue. City law says all socks will be blue. Blue socks it is. City law says socks may be Red, white or Blue. State Law says red or white. Federal law says red. Red sox it is. City law says green socks- in conflict with Federal law, Federal law applies- red, white or blue socks. Federal law says no other body may pass laws on socks- city law overruled. Red, white or blue socks.
