Remember, a democrat started it, said it would go away after the war.

Anyone have a source for that? I have always heard this but never saw any quotes about it.

Federal Income tax withholding (FITW) was supposed to be a war-time only measure and was to be ended when WWll ended. In 1943, FITW was made permanent.

I pinged Dick Bachert to this thread -- he has a fascinating article about how that came to pass. Post it please, Dick.
