No, to be fair, in 1913 only very high-income people were touched by the income tax. That’s how it was sold—a tax on the rich. It wasn’t until WWII that the average worker was touched by it. Then, there was no going back. I think it was during WWII that withholding was introduced as well.
Correct. To fund the war. It was supposed to be temporary.
Yes, that’s the way it was sold and evolved but don’t you think Col House and the other banksters of the day who pushed it through the Congress had to know what the law would mean for their bottom line and absolute control of America’s currency system (expand the tax base to the common folks) in the future? I do. One thing about evil people of that caliber and position, they are cunning like a fox.
