The Long Sordid Tale of the American Income Tax
16th April 2016
Have a crying towel ready.
The decade from 1910-1920, the ‘progressive era’, was a period in which the modern semi-fascist governmental system was founded.
1913: Income Tax; Federal Reserve System (all your money are belong to us)
1914: Federal Trade Commission; Clayton AntiTrust Act (all your business are belong to us)
1916: Federal Farm Loan Act (all your groceries are belong to us)
1917: U.S. pokes it’s nose into Work War I; Conscription (all your lives are belong to us)
1919: Prohibition (start of the War on Popular Drugs)
It’s been all downhill since then.
