'''By studying several consecutive years of tax records you may determine when a young men came of age, when individuals moved in and out of a home, or when they died leaving heirs. Authorities determined wealth (real estate, or income) to be taxed. Taxes can be for polls, real and personal estate, or schools.

Tax record content varies and may include the name and residence of the taxpayer, description of the real estate, name of original purchaser, description of personal property, number of males over 21, number of school children, slaves, and farm animals. Tax records usually are arranged by date and locality and are not normally indexed. Tax records can be used in place of missing land and census records to locate a person’s residence.'Italic text''

http://www.statearchives.us/michigan.htm Michigan Newspapers Sorry it has taken me a few days to reply, but the day before I read your question, I got an email from the Riverton Family Search library. They suggest PERSI and explain how to get to it through Findmypast. You can also go to your main library. Maybe they aren't there any more, but I remember using big books containg PERSI when I was in high school. They also said tha Newspapers.com is the largest online newspaper archive.

PERSI – Periodical Source Index – Go to: findmypast.com and Log in. In the “Quick Links” section click the “Newspapers and periodicals” link. The available collections include: British newspapers. Irish newspapers. PERiodical Source Index (PERSI). US & World newspapers. PERSI is the largest subject index to genealogy and local history periodical articles in the world. This index was created by the staff of the Allen County Public Library. Findmypast is currently adding images to the index. Only a small portion of the indexes have images, but more are being added. If an original image is desired, a link is provided to order each indexed record from the Allen County Public Library.

Statements I want to use for each state:

What history has shown us is that while property taxes are locally levied, there is significant state involvement with the amount of tax local political subdivisions can levy, how property assessments are conducted, and what services local taxing subdivisions must provide for their residents. Many of the changes the state has made in the past to lower the local property tax required a shift in financial responsibility from the local governments to the state. This comes at a cost to state taxpayers, because the state has obligations it must fund as well, with a limited amount of state tax dollars.

In July of 1862, Congress passed the Internal Revenue Act to provide income for the Government to pay the public debt including Civil War costs. After the Civil War, taxes were abolished until only a tax on liquor and tobacco remained in 1883. An 1895 Supreme Court ruling declared that income tax was unconstitutional and led to the ratification of the sixteenth amendment in 1913 which states that Congress has the power to establish and collect taxes on incomes. This was the beginning of our modern day taxes.
