The author correctly points out every one of Lincoln’s unconstitutional acts, except for imposing an income tax for the first time.
Lincoln himself said it best: “You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time.” He and his high priests have been fooling most Americans for a long time.
Income tax on wages was not unconstitutional direct taxes. Only taxes on people on a per head basis or on property were considered direct.
