IRS History? 16th Amendment (Income Tax - 1913)
Why is it just accepted that personal income gets taxed in your opinion? Is it because if you don’t pay the IRS is there?
Is it patriotic to fund our government through our own checks, which are taken out before we ever get them if you’re an employee?
There was no federal income tax established in the U.S. Constitution until ratified in 1913, when Woodrow Wilson was President.
At the time, it affected only 1% of all Americans. Tariffs and excise taxes were the main ways of funding the government before then.
April 15th is not a national holiday!
How do you think our government should be funded?
