Levy Taxes

Taxation without Representation: A phrase used to protest against British tax policy in the colonies before American Revolution; it's like being asked to pay for that concert ticket but not getting any say in what band plays.

Income Tax: A tax levied directly on personal income; imagine if you had to give up part of your allowance based on how much you receive each week.

Property Tax: A levy on property that the owner is required to pay; it's like paying a fee for keeping your bike in the community bike rack.
