The American Revolution was not solely caused by tea taxes, but they were a significant factor contributing to the growing tension between the American colonies and Great Britain. The core issue was the principle of "taxation without representation.”  

As Master the Possibilities celebrates America’s 250th birthday, it is fitting to discuss the past, present, and future of taxes. This class will describe ways that Americans have been taxed since the U.S. was formed, current methods of taxation, and projections about taxes in the future. Included topics will be marginal tax rates, progressive tax rates, and new tax laws in effect in 2026.
