What may be less obvious to those on both side of the political spectrum is the role that the Republican and Democrat parties have played in the growth of such sectors, whether for credit or blame.

Abstract:
Taxation was a fact of life for the colonists as early as the 1600s. The main tax was the poll, or capitation, tax. However, as specific needs arose, taxes were levied for them. For example, in 1714-15, a tax paid for the Tuscarora War, and forts were built at Cape fear and Ocracoke with a eight-year tax levied in 1748.

Abstract:
There have been four major trends in state taxation over the years, and can be seen in North Carolina's tax system as well. First, the distribution of tax impact has show a ratio of total support in favor of steady relief of property tax. This was followed by the progressive versus proportional taxation, where the state has had only two opportunities to introduce progressive tax structures--personal income tax, and estate and inheritance tax. The third trend was the development of local non-property taxes due to pressure on property tax following World War II, excessive pressure on state broad-based taxes, and the failure of state aid to bring financial support to municipalities. The final trend has been the impact of tax sacrifice.
