"Backstory with the American History Guys"

Bill Malone
Edward Ayers, Brian Balogh, and Peter Onuf
"Paying Up: The History of Taxation"

On May 20, 2010, internationally renowned historians and hosts Edward Ayers, Brian Balogh, and Peter Onuf presented "Paying Up: The History of Taxation." From the very beginning, Americans have been arguing about whether their taxes are fair and just. The American History Guys explored taxation's complicated and turbulent history—from the Stamp Act of 1765 to the Tea Party Movement of 2010—and discussed Americans' attitudes toward the Tax Man.
