Tax Simulation

Taxes from the olden days are way different from the taxes we have. My teacher, Mrs. McFall, put together a little thing today in class. She handed out some cups with mints in them. There was a King and two tax collectors. The King would say something like, “If you have a sister pay two mints” or “If you have blonde hair pay 3 mints.” I learned that their tax payments were very different from ours. People couldn’t help if they had blonde hair or if they had a sister. The taxes from back then were very very different from the taxes we have today.
