Wow. Somehow the Lincoln Administration managed to stagger along without resorting to such taxes. Kind of makes you wonder what the confederate IRS would be like today had the South won their rebellion, doesn't it?

Oh, OK, you may have missed this. The north was industrialized and the south was agrarian. Therefore, Lincoln would have had a different resource base to tax than did the Confederacy. I’m surprised you didn’t know that. Makes your statement sound kinda stupid. Might want to brush up on the basics.
