Three types of rodent mites readily bite humans: the house mouse mite (Liponyssoides saguineus), spiny rat mite (Laelaps echidnina) and tropical rat mite (Ornithonyssus bacoti). The house mouse mite prefers to suck the blood of mice, but also will bite rats and people, often causing a rash around the bite.
Under strong public pressure, Congress passed the Tax Reform Act of 1969, and it was signed into law by President Richard M. Nixon on December 30, 1969.
In 1862, Congress established a limited income tax only on people who made more than $600, but abolished it in 1872 in favor of higher excise taxes on tobacco and alcohol. Congress re-established an income tax in 1894, only to have the Supreme Court declare it unconstitutional in 1895.
