Fun historical facts

We all have heard of and probably have used Doctor Sholls shoe insoles; but what was the origin of those insoles? I submit to you that the concept was initiated during the great depression when poor people could not afford shoes so they put cardboard in their shoes so their socks were not hitting the pavement.

Federal Income taxes began in the war of 1861. They were repealed in 1871. They started again in 1913, but working people did not make enough to pay them. They went viral in 1942 when the country had to pay for the war. The problem was no withholding so in 1943 the working class could not afford to pay their taxes. The tax was supposed to be dropped for working people after the war, but then we all know that never happened.
