funny how the U.S. ran on this continent with hardly any taxes until the income tax of the 20th century. People prospered on the North American continent from 1600 to 1900 with almost no government and almost no taxes(especially as compared to now).the U.S. grew into a world power in the 1800’s with very limited small govenrmnent and very low taxes.

Yeah your socialist plan is working so well huh ? what are your socialist programs being funded with , massive exploding debt. how will that work out. collapse that's how. Also you are taxing us at almost 60% of our incomes.

we don't need huge taxes , nor government. but you think we do .why do you trust government? you don't think this huge govenrment is a threat to our freedom and is oppressing us . why are you so happy being a slave of the government and want us enslaves also .who are we to you . leave us alone and go be a slave to the federal government in your socialist utopia

Then you need to win elections to reduce the tax rates.

One aspect of pre-income tax funding of the government was their selling of western lands. Doing that supplemented the government’s income until the closing of the frontier, acting in lieu of taxes.

One Fredrick Jackson Turner wrote about that, and how it would change America.
