๐A Lei do Selo de 1765 foi o primeiro imposto directo cobrado pelo Parlamento ร s colรณnias, que nรฃo tinham representantes eleitos no Parlamento para o aprovar ou debater.

Original Title: 250 Years of Taxation in America
๐The Stamp Act of 1765 was the first direct tax imposed by Parliament on the colonies, which had no elected representatives in Parliament to approve or debate it.
๐From 1868 to 1913, 90% of federal tax revenue came from taxes on alcohol and tobacco.
๐In 1913, the Federal Reserve Bank was established. At the same time, the 16th Amendment was ratified, granting the โInternal Revenue Serviceโ (IRS) a power that many court cases have shown to be improper.
๐The โTax Payment Actโ of 1943 required employers to withhold federal income tax from each employeeโs wages at every pay period and remit the amount directly to the IRS.
๐In 2026, while many Americans struggle to make ends meet and argue that the IRS is unconstitutional, the White House aims to have the CLARITY Act take effect by July 4, which will establish the legal framework for an agent-based cryptocurrency economy and for comprehensive oversight by the IRS.
๐This is also happening at the international level; once agent-based AI trading is fully operational, all wallets, all brokers, and all cross-border data-sharing agreements will already be directly linked to the IRS and its international counterparts.
๐Circle, the issuer of the USDC stablecoin, which processes 98% of payments made by AI agents, is positioning itself as an infrastructure provider for tokenized carbon credits.
๐Thus, should a carbon tax be implemented in the future, the infrastructure will already be in place.
