The U.S. Congress did not implement a flat 10 percent income tax for all citizens as a measure to finance wars. Instead, they used various tax measures such as graduated income taxes, stamp taxes, the creation of the Internal Revenue Service, and sin taxes on sales of tobacco and alcohol. These measures were more nuanced and targeted different sources of revenue rather than applying a flat rate across all citizens.
