The Revenue Act of 1942 significantly raised taxes to fund World War II, expanding the income tax to millions of new taxpayers and increasing rates on higher incomes. Additionally, Congress issued war bonds to finance military operations, encouraging citizens to lend money to the government. These efforts collectively contributed to a substantial increase in national debt, as the costs of the war escalated dramatically.
