Why did the populist want graduated income tax?

the populist party was made of poor white farmers who were frustrated with their current economic situation. The Mckinley tariff had made the cost of farm equipment rise, while the prices of crops were still deflating due to the gold standard being used. The populist party aimed to level the playing field between rich and poor, and wanted to do so with a graduated income tax. this would lower the level of the McKinley tarrif, while making the wealthy pay more income tax than the poor, and would decrease the differences in the classes.


How long can a 12 years children use computer?

I would say if the child completes all of the things they need to they as long as they want. I would have a to daily do list for the child, and on that list I would have home work and one or two choirs for the child to do. If you child does not exercise at lest for one hour a day then I would putt that on the to do list, when you child completes the to do list then let them play on the computer for as long as they want. i have a sister that is 12 and my father makes her do all of her chores makes sure that her bed is made and her room is cleaned bathe the babies and be dressed before she can get on and shes only allowed on for an hour on school days and two on nonschool days
