You're confused.The income tax, for one, was never to fund the military. It was imposed during peacetime. It was pure Marxism, being pushed by the old Socialist Labor and Populist Parties, and finally imposed by populist Democrat William Jennings Bryan (which undermined his "religious" credentials). Furthermore, stop taking my "zero taxes" phrase out of context repeatedly. It was in reference to taxing rails and roads, and punitive capital gains, to put things back in context. |
