The Great Tax Wars: Lincoln to Wilson--The Fierce Battles over Money and Power That Transformed the Nation

Book Description

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 as great fortunes were amassed, militant farmers and workers rebelled against concentrations of vast wealth and power, class war was narrowly averted, and America emerged as a global power.

Award-winning journalist Steven R. Weisman begins his narrative with the Civil War, when Lincoln imposed the nation's first income tax to pay the Union Army and dampen dangerous resentment against bankers, merchants, and factory owners who profited from the war. Repealed by Congress after the war, the tax was reenacted in 1894 to deal with the nation's worst economic collapse until that time. By reducing the government's heavy reliance on tariffs for revenue, the tax benefited farmers in the West and South who were rebelling against the high cost of imports and goods manufactured in the North and East. But a year later, the Supreme Court declared the income tax unconstitutional, plunging the court into one of the worst controversies it has endured and once again pitting region against region and workers and farmers against industrialists. The court's decision also handed populist congressman William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, who was a champion of the tax, a major issue in his unsuccessful campaign for president in 1896.

The turn of the century brought an outpouring of progressive reforms under President Roosevelt. Toward the end of his term, T.R. proposed an income tax to help break the excessive power of the wealthy and the trusts and banks they controlled, but it took a deal between President William Howard Taft and Congress in 1909, and then ratification of the Sixteenth Amendment to the Constitution, to finally get the tax enacted in 1913. The tax took effect just as Wilson entered the White House and in time to finance America's involvement in World War I.

The Great Tax Wars features an extraordinary cast of characters, including the powerful 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, 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. Drawing on their words and on newspaper and magazine accounts of the time, Weisman shows how the ever-controversial income tax transformed America and how today's debates about the tax echo those of the past.

The Hobo Philosopher.......2007-09-05

If I had been forced to guess under what presidential administration the nefarious "income tax" was enacted, I would have guessed that it happened under the Franklin D. Roosevelt administration - and probably in his first term. I would think this because in 1932 the nation was in big trouble - the Depression was raging. With a Great Depression raging one could presume that there would be a great majority of lesser-off when compared to better-off and in such a situation it would not be surprising that the majority of lesser-off in a democracy would vote themselves a share of what made the "better off" better off. But I was wrong.
This book tells you when, where, why and how and you get the bonus of reading an entertaining writer.

easy taxation reading.......2004-07-08

The book does a very good job describing a historical background between civil war and the end of first World War that led to the introduction and changes in the tax laws. It provides an interesting portraits of people involved in making these decisions. It is not an academic book and intended for mass audience since it's quite easy to read. The only issue I have with this book is that it seems that sometimes the author wanders away from the main subject of the book and although it is usually still interesting observations it doesn't always serve the purpose of this book. But even despite this the book is an easy and interesting read on complicated subject.

Taxes can be a taxing topic.......2004-02-12

While some reviewers have indicated that this book, in addressing the topic of the history of the income tax, is not really taxing to read, the battles of the income tax tend to be some of the less interesting components of the story. Weisman does an excellent job of providing the historical context in which the battles over income tax take place, and it is this context that is much more interesting than some of the battles that took place in establishing the tax as a permanent component of the American government.

What is truly interesting about the battles over the income tax is the almost verbatim arguments that have occured against the tax, extending almost to the supply side economics argument popularized by the Regean campaign of 1980. This is fairly close to the arguments that were made in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Seeing that the basis of the tax argument, on either side hasn't changed much is enlightening when examining current policy debates.

Weisman also provides some interesting insights into the administrations of Roosevelt and Wilson and the politics that surrounded both of them, beyond the taxation issue. Especially noteworthy is Roosevelt's general feeling toward Wilson which extends beyond the issue of raising taxes.

Ultimately, for the discounted price the book is worth the time to read. Buying it at full price, it might not be as worth while.

Good Overview but it lacked something.......2003-07-02

Weisman does a good job review the creation of the income tax and an even better job pointing out the form of taxation that came before. This was mainly tariffs on imported goods that served to increase the prices of goods for everyone. It was surprising to read that before the income tax, up to 40% of an average person's income could have went for Federal Taxes because of the prices he had to pay for basic goods such as farm equipment, coffee, sugar, & other items.

The original income tax was actually a tax cut for many Americans, which may be surprising to modern day anti-tax crusaders. Where Weismann falls flat is examining specifics of how the tax code functioned in the early days and attempting to assess its impact. He seems to devote more energy into providing historical overviews of the period from the Civil War until around the time of the Great Depression (in the end he runs through major changes in the code until the present).

The strongest chapter is probably the review of the the Confederate experiments with various tax schemes and their desperate attempts to keep some financial solvency to their short lived government.

Quite good, but not great.......2003-05-20

For the price, this book truly is a bargain.

The author starts off very strong with the historical presentation of Lincoln, but there are many places where it flagged -- the author lost focus and went on tangents about other, seemingly unrelated historical things, often for "miles and miles" of pages. I'm sure he faced a tough decision in what to include and what not to include, as is the case for any history book because to put it into true perspective you want to include everything -- but you can't. There should have been more judicious cutting here.

The editorial review is also correct: the author didn't ask many important questions in his book, whether overtly or in a more subtle manner. In fact, I kept waiting for the history lesson to end and some more of the author's personality and thoughts to come through, but it didn't happen after the first 1/3 of the book.

Reading this book was quite a lot like watching a (historical re-enactment-style) movie, to be honest, which is good if you just want to know what happened but not if you're looking for an intellectual discussion of "why?" It was a good history lesson, but I will look for other books with a more discussion-oriented bent to round out my newly developed knowledge.

Unique Rankings
Companies are classified by industry. This edition includes numerous valuable rankings, such as 10-year average annual dividend growth rate, one, three, and five year total returns, top 20 return on equity and return on assets along with top 20 rankings by revenue, net income, total assets, long-term and short-term price scores, highest and lowest P/E ratios and more!

A Great Investment Has Become Even Better
And now, with new tax law changes slashing dividend taxes, investing in Dividend Achiever companies has never been better! Our Dividend Achievers will provide low-taxed income today and perhaps low-taxed capital gains tomorrow.

Historically, dividend income has been taxed at your highest rate. Under the prior tax law, as much as 38.60f dividend income could go to the IRS. The 2003 tax act changed the rules. Now, corporate dividends paid to individuals generally are taxed at ultra-low tax rates. Most investors will pay only 15% tax on dividend income. Investors in the lowest federal tax brackets will pay only 5% tax on dividends. This rate may apply to retirees whose income drops after they stop working. In 2008, those low-bracket taxpayers will owe no federal income tax on dividends they receive. What's more, if you need to sell your dividend-paying stocks, any long-term gains will qualify for those same bargain tax rates: 15%, 5%, or even 0 0n 2008.

How Does a Company Become a Dividend Achiever?
Many thousands of companies pay dividends to shareholders. Fewer than 300 U.S. companies qualified as Dividend Achievers in 2003. In fact, only 2.50f all the publicly-traded, dividend-paying U.S. companies qualify as Dividend Achievers!

To make our final cut, only high-quality companies that have increased their regular dividends for 10 years in a row are chosen from an exclusive list. Thats right...during the boom times of the late 1990s and the struggles of the early 21st century, our Dividend Achievers have steadily taken in more cash and paid higher dividends to investors. In fact, most of our Dividend Achievers have more than 20 years of higher dividends. Truly, the companies on our list have proven to be the top tier of U.S. industry.

Book Description

The co-founder of EVA shows how to apply it in today's new economy

EVA-economic valued added-is a measure of the true financial performance of a company, and a strategy for creating corporate and shareholder wealth. It is also a method of changing corporate priorities and behavior throughout a company, right down to the "shop floor." In The EVA Challenge, the authors outline how to implement EVA-from training employees to answering the most frequently encountered implementation problems faced by companies.

This detailed "how-to" guide represents the second phase in the "EVA Revolution", showing executives around the world how to customize and implement EVA at their companies. Here, EVA converts learn how to work some "EVA magic" through company-specific initiatives and case study examples. Coverage includes completely new materials on "real options", leveraged stock options, and other concepts critical to corporations in both new and old economy industry sectors.

Customer Reviews:

Highly Recommended!.......2002-04-08

Authors Joel Stern and John Shiely advocate a total revolution in the way companies are valued and measured. They make a convincing case for using EVA ("Economic Value Added") as the primary measure of corporate performance. The authors argue that the SEC's yardstick for corporate reporting, the "Generally Accepted Accounting Procedures" (GAAP), was designed to protect lenders by depicting a company's liquidation value. As such, GAAP provides an overly conservative and only marginally accurate picture of financial health. EVA principles - at least according to the consultants who advise companies on using them - evaluate intangible assets more realistically and correspond more closely to stock market performance. We from getAbstract recommend this book to executives who seek improved corporate financial and market performance, and to investors interested in understanding how value is created and maintained.

Aligning Shareholder and Manager Interests.......2002-03-02

One of the most difficult questions to answer is what a company's worth is. Two developments in American Capitalism have contributed to the question's complexity. First, shareholders have divorced themselves from the corporations operation, leaving the task to professional managers.

Second, generally accepted accounting principles do not align expenses with benefits, distorting economic reality. As a result, investors who want to compare the cash they can take out of a company with the cash they have invested are hampered.

The authors argue Economic Value Added (EVA) is a true measure of a company's economic performance, in addition to being a strategy for creating shareholder value. Properly implemented, they state, EVA frees the measurement of corporate performance from the vagaries of accounting principles and gives both shareholders and management a clear picture of the value the company creates.

EVA is the profit that remains after deducting the cost of the capital invested to generate that profit or EVA = Net Operating Profit After-Tax minus capital charge. Effectively implemented, the tool becomes the basis for an incentive plan that rewards managers for actions that increase shareholder returns and vice versa.

John S. Shiely, president of Briggs and Stratton and co-author of the book, notes this strategy provided the foundation of his company's turnaround. In 1989, the world's largest producer of air-cooled engines had an EVA of negative $62 million based on $1.3 billion in sales. By re-organizing and focusing its strategy while developing its EVA program, the company staged a dramatic turnaround. By 1999, it reported a record positive EVA of $50.9 million. Shareholders, who bought $100 worth of stock at the beginning of the program, saw it increase in value to $673 in 1999.

The authors claim EVA is ideal for knowledge-based companies making heavy infrastructure investments today for any anticipated return later. EVA treats cash outlays that represent investments as capital rather than expenses. The capital in these knowledge based industries consists of research, development, marketing, advertising and start-up costs. Accounts view these expenditures as expenses, but it is realistic to capitalize them and amortize them over their useful lives.

EVA from a Senior Management Perspective.......2001-10-23

EVA Challenge was OK. It is more geared towards senior managers who are thinking about EVA as a model for their companies. In that regard, this books does a fine job.

I was hoping the book would deal with more of the matamatics associated with defining EVA in relation to various projects and business decisions. This book contailed very little information in this regard.

What Is Your Organization's Net Worth?.......2001-04-14

Perhaps you have already read Ehrbar's EVA. He quite correctly points out that there can be many challenges to implementing a program based on EVA principles. He characterizes it as "a superior measure of corporate performance, one that is tied more directly to share than any other performance measure, by charging profit for the cost of all the capital a company employs, including equity."

More specifically:

"It is the framework for a complete financial management and incentive compensation system that can guide every decision a company makes...that can transform corporate culture, that can
improve the working lives of everyone in an organization by making them more successful, and that can help them produce greater wealth for shareholders, customers, and themselves."

Stern and Shiely (with Irwin Ross) focus on the specific challenges which will probably be encountered when initiates are taken to implement value-added change in an organization. They suggest all manner of strategies and tactics to achieve that objective, agreeing with O'Toole's key points in Leading Change when he analyzes what he calls "the ideology of comfort and the tyranny of custom."

For the authors of this book, there have been two major developments in American capitalism which explain why "the opportunity cost of capital" has been miscalculated: "(1) the split between ownership and control of publicly held corporations and (2) the widespread acceptance of accounting measurements [i.e. GAAP] to gauge corporate value, a purpose for which they were never intended." Having defined and then analyzed various problems in Chapter 1, the authors proceed into 12 more chapters whose titles suggest their focal points: The Solution, The Need for a Winning Strategy and Organization, The Road Map to Value Creation, The Changes wrought by EVA, Extending EVA to the Shop Floor [an absolute imperative], Getting the Message Out: Training and Communications, EVA and Acquisitions, EVA Incentives, How EVA Can Fail [and it does...the authors explain why], New Frontiers: real Options and Forward-Looking Eva, 25 Questions [which must be answered fully or forget about EVA], and finally, a Recipe for Success. The book then provides its own value-added benefit: an Epilogue written by Gregory V. Milano which discusses EVA and the "New Economy."

Briefly, I would like to comment on Chapter 13 which offers a "Recipe for Success." The authors introduce and explain six key factors. Having already acknowledged various forms of resistance and resentment which implementation of EVA principles may well encounter, the authors understand full well that these factors may offer the promise of success but by no means guarantee it. They are:

1. "The company must have a viable business strategy and appropriate organizational architecture before EVA can boost performance."

2. To achieve full potential of EVA, a company should install all of EVA's components -- a measurement system, a management system, and an incentive system."

3. An EVA incentive plan is essential, and it should reach as far down in the organization as possible."

4. "A comprehensive training program is equally essential. It should not be limited to top executives but should infiltrate all managerial levels and, ideally, reach down to the shop floor."

5. "The EVA program must have the full and fervent backing of the CEO, who should chair all the all-important steering committee that puts EVA in place."

6. "The CFO and/or the controller should be equally committed. Because they have to deal simultaneously with standard accounting practices, these specialists may have an even greater problem focusing on value creation than a CEO newly introduced to EVA."

Stern and Shiely (with Ross) offer a comprehensive, cohesive, and cost-effective program which, after appropriate modification, can be of substantial benefit to almost any organization, regardless of its size or nature. Milano's insights are especially important in 2001 as so many organizations are attempting (with mixed success) to reconcile the basic principles of the so-called "Old" and "New" economies. (I hope they or Ehrbar next write a book which explains how EVA can be of greatest benefit to privately-owned smaller companies.) Drucker was right: "Until a company returns a profit that is greater than its cost of capital, it operates at a loss." We have all manner of mechanisms by which to determine the exact net worth of an individual executive. Properly understood, EVA principles can do the same for an organization IF if those who lead that organization are guided and informed by the aforementioned "six key factors." If you share my high regard for this book as well as Ehrbar's, you are urged to check out Fitz-enz's The ROI of Human Capital.

THE big picture of EVA concept.......2001-04-11

Joel Stern masters the art of explaining EVA in a simple manner. Co-authored by John Shiely, sharing his on-the-job experience using EVA at Briggs & Stratton, the book looks at strategic considerations of why to use EVA and how it is better than other performance measures and financial management systems to enhance shareholder value. I especially like the "How EVA can Fail" and the "25 Questions" chapters because they go deep into issues sometimes overlooked when one thinks about Value Based Management implementation.

Book Description

The implementation of management accounting change constitutes much more than the selection of what may be perceived as being 'optimal' accounting systems and techniques, followed by a 'technical' process of implementation. Selecting and implementing the 'right' accounting systems and techniques and the technical aspects of implementation are important, but change implementation and change management also involves important behavioural and cultural issues that must be understood and addressed. The main focus of The Challenge of Management Accounting Change is on understanding the processes involved in the implementation of management accounting change and the complexities of, and difficulties involved in, changing management accounting systems, techniques and roles in the UK.

This book outlines a framework for interpreting and understanding management accounting change as an on-going process and a range of case studies are used to illustrate both successful and unsuccessful implementations, drawing out the various lessons that can be learned and suggesting some pointers for those embarking on a programme of management accounting change.

* Describes the finding of a research project investigating management accounting change in the UK
* Focuses on the difficulties involved in changing management accounting systems
