It’s that “temporarily” part I have trouble with. Didn’t income tax start out as a “temporary” fix about 70 years ago?
No the phone tax did to fund the Spanish-American war of 1898.
Federal Income tax was never temporary as far as I remember. It was pushed that it would only be paid by the very uppermost rich, and even then the rates would be pretty low (7% or so, I am recalling).
