What struck me in reading this is that the same arguments are being made today by the pro tax people and what the anti taxers warned against has happened and not long after the implementation of the policy.

The constant is those in favor of destructive policies either just don't see how destructive they are or they just don't care and are lying to expand their power.

The cause of our current mess has been SOP for at least 116 years

“This Bill proposed to do no such thing; it simply proposed to impose a tax on a man because he was rich. That was not Democracy, it was Communism…”

“It was proposed to deliberately create a tax class. He regarded that proposition as a blow at the fundamental principle on which the Government was founded. He regarded it as the beginning of disintegration – as the entering wedge in a condition which would ultimately result in the disfranchisement of a large number American citizens.”

Bingo!

They knew it was destructive then but they still went for it. Taxes are the crack cocaine of the government class and we need to send them to rehab -- Permanently!
