No income tax and No Federal Reserve yet America thrived and became the richest nation in the world. A truly gilded age and an industrial revolution.
How about that....
Great photo.
... and average literacy and math abilities far surpassed the ‘graduates’ of modern Federal education factories.
... and criminals hung
And the US population was about 80 Million, so larger than I was expecting.
Until we invent time machines, we all have to live in the age to which we were born, though. It’s easy to see nostalgia in a bygone era, too. They had yet to have our last two World Wars, the Spanish Flu, the Great Depression, FDR and a whole host of problems, too.
What hypocrisy that the Federal Government appears to follow no rules of accounting when handling money.
Thrived?
Pick up a history book....many, many people lived like animals.
Our military wasn’t close to the global power it is now.
AND SS didn’t exist..which swallows WAY MORE than it takes in.
Stop policing the world completely, stop paying SS...it was never put in a seperate account, that’s a lie....shut down NASA, NORAD and a billion other things we like but didn’t have in 1913.
You forget about having half a country to SELL to pay for things during the 1800s also...no, MORE than half a country.
Dreamers.
#TaxationIsSlavery
It’s no coincidence that the income tax and Federal Reserve were implemented immediately after the last of the contiguous 48 states became part of the U.S. The growth model for a developed society is much different than it is for one that still has a frontier.
Agreed!
The dam@ed income tax is terrible depressant on USA
It simply needs to be abolished
And replaced by something much simpler, easier, fairer, far less burdensome, lower much lower in amount, and free of abuse by those in power
Between fed and states taking a third of a worker’s income is outrageous no matter how the corruptoids do it.

End the Fed!
That’s what I’m talking about.
Count me as on board the defund train.
Before 1913 we had no entitlement programs. Today the bulk of the federal budget is income transfer payments.
So it would be simple to get most of the way back to the pre-1913 night watchman state. Begin by abolishing Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food stamps, etc.
We had much nicer architecture, too!
BTTT
Taxing income and property is BS.
Free Traitors™ are offended....Income tax over tariffs is their motto
The Tariff
We reaffirm our belief in the protective tariff to extend needed protection to our productive industries. We believe in protection as a national policy, with due and equal regard to all sections and to all classes. It is only by adherence to such a policy that the well being of the consumers can be safeguarded that there can be assured to American agriculture, to American labor and to American manufacturers a return to perpetrate American standards of life. A protective tariff is designed to support the high American economic level of life for the average family and to prevent a lowering to the levels of economic life prevailing in other lands.
In the history of the nation the protective tariff system has ever justified itself by restoring confidence, promoting industrial activity and employment, enormously increasing our purchasing power and bringing increased prosperity to all our people.
The tariff protection to our industry works for increased consumption of domestic agricultural products by an employed population instead of one unable to purchase the necessities of life. Without the strict maintenance of the tariff principle our farmers will need always to compete with cheap lands and cheap labor abroad and with lower standards of living.
The enormous value of the protective principle has once more been demonstrated by the emergency tariff act of 1921 and the tariff act of 1922. We assert our belief in the elastic provision adopted by congress in the tariff act of 1922 providing for a method of readjusting the tariff rates and the classifications in order to meet changing economic conditions when such changed conditions are brought to the attention of the president by complaint or application.
We believe that the power to increase or decrease any rate of duty provided in the tariff furnishes a safeguard on the one hand against excessive taxes and on the other hand against too high customs charges.
Yes thanks to Tariffs.
