In 1913, the leftists got their way

The left you observe today didn't exist in 1913. Who, in 1913, would object to a 1% tax on income over $20,000 when the average income was less than $1,000 a year?

Few would. But voters in the Northeast weren't that crazy for it because they were the people who had the most money. They saw it as a plot to take away their money.

"The left you observe today didn't exist in 1913."

Their writings from that time period prove otherwise.
