A major work of history, The Great Tax Wars is the gripping, epic story of six decades of often violent conflict over wealth, power, and fairness that gave America the income tax. It's the story of a tumultuous period of radical change, from Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War through the progressive era under Theodore Roosevelt and ending with Woodrow Wilson and World War I. During these years of upheaval, America was transformed from an agrarian society into a mighty industrial nation, great fortunes were amassed, farmers and workers rebelled, class war was narrowly averted, and America emerged as a global power.
The Great Tax Wars features an extraordinary cast of characters, including the men who built the nation's industries and the politicians and reformers who battled them -- from J. P. Morgan and Andrew Carnegie to Lincoln, T.R., Wilson, William Jennings Bryan, and Eugene Debs. From their ferocious battles emerged a more flexible definition of democracy, economic justice, and free enterprise largely framed by a more progressive tax system. In this groundbreaking book, Weisman shows how the ever controversial income tax transformed America and how today's debates about the tax echo those of the past.

Awesome Anniversary Gift
I got this for my husband for our 25th silver anniversary because it is partly silver. I think it is a beautiful watch especially for the price. I think he can wear it for everyday at work and not worry about breaking it or losing it and still look classy.

Unique Couple Watch Set
It's a well-made pair of watches, perfect for you and a partner or as a gift for your friends! It comes in a presentable little box that closes magnetically with a heart-shaped white clasp, contrasting the red box, allowing for a highly giftable gift with little effort required when it comes to packaging. The watches themselves are stunning, with extreme attention to detail everywhere you look, whether it's beveled edges or even a crown emblem on the watch's crown. The crystal of the watches takes a unique approach and stylistically protrudes from the watch face, resembling a toned-down pavilion and culet of a diamond. Both watches do a great job pairing each other, and the smaller watch is different from what you'd expect, as there's effort put into its design instead of making a gimmicky downscale of the bigger watch. Overall, they're a great pair of watches that serve as a great gift for partners to match wristwatches, and my only complaint is the male watch's band size, as out of the box it easily fits around my ankle, although adjusting the links was a breeze thanks to the provided tools.
