It was sold as a replacement for the hated protective tariff. Within a few years we had both the income tax and a protective tariff.
Was Wilson a muslim homo too?
“And the rich would — finally! — start paying their fair share.”
We often hear this phrase uttered by quasi-Marxists and hordes of the perpetually and chronically jealous, but what does it mean, really?
Somehow, because some individuals are economically successful, they’re expected to pay FAR MORE than everyone else.
What, precisely, are they receiving from the government which is supposedly in excess of everyone else?
Nothing.
In point of fact, those who are self-reliant and earn more on the basis of their efforts on behalf of themselves and their familioes, tend to take less from government and get less from government than anyone else.
And yet, we hear this phrase “fair share” as if it were written in stone that successful people somehow owed the government more than anyone else.
It is pure bunk, utter Marxism, Newspeak contrary to reality, and the product of nothing more than jealousy and covetousness of the property of others - some of the worst traits of a human race which can be very evil, indeed.
Yeah but, wasn’t Wilson a U.S. citizen? Makes a big difference.
Excellent article by Charles Hurt, and good to see Woodrow Wilson receive the derision that his record as president deserves. Wilson was a tyrant who despised the Constitution and ignored it to the greatest extent he could get away with. Getting us into WWI was a terrible decision that set the USA on its ultimately-ruinous path to be the world’s policeman, busybody and sugar daddy, and Wilson enacted and twisted laws to punish and silence his political opponents. We Conservatives often view FDR as the architect of today’s welfare state, but the real structure of federal power was erected by the tyrannical academic, Woodrow Wilson.
Two racists.
