Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. meant that citizens must pay taxes as a way to help society stay organized.

I agree with him because taxes pay for several different services that are essential to American society. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1) Public schools- School funding, teacher salaries, and the support staff of a school are all paid by tax dollars.

2) Emergency services- Police departments and fire departments are also funded by tax money.

3) Government services/employees- The people who make our laws and who provide help through government programs are all paid for their efforts thanks to taxes.

If you could, will you tell me how much each country received from the Marshall plan? thank you
Eva8 [605]

Harry Truman,33rd president of the United States from 1945 to 1953 approved the Marshall Plan on April 3, 1948, granting $5 billion in funding to Sixteen European nations.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The Marshall Plan was an American initiative established in 1948 for international service to Western Europe. It is offically the European Recovery Program( ERP). The U.S  transferred above $12 billion in economic development plans to Western European economies after the end of World War II.

Displacing an elder project for a Morgenthau Plan, it worked for four years starting on April 3, 1948. The United States aimed to reconstruct war-torn regions,  negotiate trade restrictions, modernize production, develop European prosperity, and limit the scope of Socialism.

The Marshall Plan aid did split amongst the associate states unevenly on a per capita basis. The biggest beneficiary of Marshall Plan funds did the United Kingdom (receiving about 26% ), followed by France (18%) and West Germany (11%). Some 18 European nations received Plan benefits.
