“How could the federal government run without income taxes.”

So, you didn’t know that income taxes were the result of the 16th Amendment to the US Constitution ratified in 1913?

So, how did the US government fund itself for over 130 years without taxing people?

Good question. I have no idea but the founders demanded that the post office and military be funded by the federal government. Not sure where they got the money to do that. I know I learned many years ago from my parents that money doesn’t grow on trees so that answer is out.
