The wealth of nations by john lock? That might help you. It's an entire book on many economic issues, taxation being one of them.

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

I think you mean The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith.  Published 1776.  John Locke did write on economics (as well as everything else), but that one isn't one of his.

But given the 1000+ pages of fine print in The Wealth of Nations, it might be hard to skim through for your presentation...

Thanks for the correction. Just pulled it off the top of my head. I was lazy to look in my economics notes that are two feet away from me.
