Well.. my best guess.\n\nThe income tax started in the 1860's (I believe 1861) but was declared unconstitutional in 1881 so there were no income taxes in 1890.\n\nLiquor taxes were around since the 1700's... so there's that.  It did provide a lot of money to the government.\n\nSales Taxes: there were times during our history when there was a federal sales tax  (Civil War, World Wars) but none existed in 1890 or today.\n\nCustom Duties: If you're referring to "Excise Taxes" on goods then yes, this is where the majority of the income for the Fed's came from.  These taxes were actually charged to business who passed them along to consumers.  This inculded liquor and cigarettes.

Fair Tax would substitute a consumption tax (sales tax) in place of federal income tax.  Might work, but also might interfere with consumer spending, because taxes would rise with rising purchases.  Also some question as to whether there would be large exclusions, exemptions or deductions from the national sales tax.

You are asking questions about things that are not paid for out of the same budgets.\n\nThe United States federal goverments first, and basically only job when this country was created was defense.  \n\nUntil recent times - Defense was the largest percentage of the total federal budget by far.\n\nAs time has gone on other things have been added to it. Including what takes up the majority of the Federal Budget these days.  These things that have been added are "required spending" budget items.  These are things that no matter what - they have to be paid.  This includes Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, interest, payroll, and other such expenses that deal with the day to day operation of the Federal government.\n\nDefense comes out of what is called discretionary spending.  As would anything the Feds spend on Education.\n\nTo answer your question directly - defense is about 20 percent, and Medicare/Medicaid (health) combined are going to also be about 20 percent.  Education is going to come out of the rest of the discretionary budget - not sure what it is off the top of my head - but its a very small percentage.\n\nSource 2 below has the info from the above paragraph - source 1 is the page that pdf came from, which has alot of other charts and graphs put out the US House of Representatives.\n\nSource 3 covers some historical data on the Defense spending.\n\nDefense is only paid for by the Feds.\n\nEducation on the other hand is going to be paid for by each state.  So to answer that question - you would have to look at each state.  There is many other Health Care programs that are paid for at the state level also - again - not something that can be answered here - way to many different things.\n\nBasically - the Feds pay for Social Security, Defense, Medicare, Medicaid, and things that cross states borders like Interstates.  They also spend large chunks of change on things like Disaster Relief.  \n\nStates pay for Education.\n\n.. and for the most part - employers pay for Health Care in this country.

A lot of the things that you mention are funded in most places by property taxes, not income taxes.  Where I live, it's property tax and a local option sales tax that pays for the library, pays for fire protection, paves the streets, etc.  These are local services.\n\nFederal income tax receipts account for about half of the federal budget.\nThe largest expenditures of the federal government are:\n1) pay interest on the public debt\n2) fund the military\n3) Health & Human services (mainly medicaid and medicare)\n4) Social security\n\nSome individual states also levy an income tax and/or a state sales tax.\nAlso, some federal money comes back to individual states to be administered by the states (medicaid is one example; road-building is another).

First the Fed doesn't print money.  That's done by the Treasurey.  And what the hell is the "golf" standard?\nAnyway.  There a three ways the Fed can control the money supply: \n1)Open Market Operations\n2)Discount Window(rate)\n3)Legal Reserve Requirement

Check out and support the best bill ever introduced in congress: The Fair Tax! HR 25 S 25\n\nIt will eliminate all other Federal taxes and replace it with a sales tax on new items and services.  I think it would be the best thing that has ever happened to our economy!  Check out the link!\n\nNo income tax, no deductions, no paperwork.

uh, which economy are we talking about?\n\nat least in the US economy, im pretty sure the seller can decide who bears the burden of the sales tax, in which case it would be the buyer, since no company pays for sales tax, unless it's the government that regulated it.\n\ni would say the government.\n\nwhy? because they run the country

The federal reserve, treasury department, department of commerce, department of labor, each make contributions to what is commonly called the leading economic indicators.  Major business web sources could be the Wall Street Journal (wsj.com), Businessweek.com, and cnn.com business.  \n\nThere will be papers on discussion of weighting evidence in the federal reserve site, among others (the common commercial sites will give summaries with their commentaries, less technical and distinctly biased to stock market impacts).\n\nUsually, those who devise a new index have a theory they are supporting or attempting to "prove".  The issue of "weights" is something your theory or hypothesis suggests.  Dig the data, build a pattern, devise a theory, then weight according to your hypothesized critical factors.  (A lot of work, isn't it?)

California is the biggest source of remittances.\n\nCalifornia ($9.6 billion), New York ($3.6 billion), Texas ($3.2 billion) and Florida ($2.5 billion) lead the ranking, but Georgia ($947 million), North Carolina ($833 million) and Virginia ($586 million) are among the top 10 states\n\n\n\nIn 2005, U.S. immigrants sent home $39 billion. About half of that went to Mexico, where remittances are the second-largest source of foreign income after oil sales. In El Salvador and Guatemala, remittances represent the largest source of foreign revenue.\n\nhttp://www.theindychannel.com/money/8693710/detail.html

what licensing is required in your area, information on taxes, if you have employees what are the laws in your state for them, etc.  Start by going to the IRS web site to get information on taxes for the feds. Then go to your state website and get the same information.  Call your city to see what they require (some need just a business license some need a food handlers permit and some will require you have a commercial kitchen used for the business exclusively).  Good luck.
