PROgressive Tax Education

Inspiration

Due to the coronavirus, many states have hugely increased expenses and reduced revenues. This may lead to increased taxes in future years to support these economies. However, the general public doesn't fully understand how taxes work in America and there are several misconceptions. I want to get ahead of this issue and educate people so everyone is fully informed when making policy decisions and voting.

What it does

This is an interactive educational walkthrough that introduces the user to definitions and examples. It also provides a calculator so a user can estimate how they personally may be affected by an increase in taxes due to the coronavirus.

How I built it

Python and Tkinter

Challenges I ran into

I am not a Comp Sci student and I have never worked with UI before. I chose Tkinter because there is lots of helpful literature and videos online.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Getting the project done as one person, and gaining experience in Tkinter and UI. I feel much more comfortable with these libraries now.
