Taxation is the power to destroy. As a society, we should not penalize wealth creation. We should tax consumption of resources.

It’s almost like you should know how to wipe yourself after using the toilet


Lets keep personal ill feelings aside and focus on the topic of the thread. Insulting me like that is not productive.

income tax shouldnt exist, and never did exist prior to the wars where it was introduced to fund them

assets should be taxed continually

lower income brackets who receive refunds on income tax should instead receive refunds on sales tax

income tax was created in 1909, which war was it created to fund?

LOL'd.

the only "war" in that era was the mexican border dispute, but i doubt it would have been worth a literal amendment to fund it even with the Germans backing them, fucking Germans. Why is it always ze germans?

then the real war to follow WW1 wasn't exactly American by design.

Yes.


accurately i think its worth stating the expansion of income tax and increasing percent of the federal budget that goes to "defense" is by design. but the claim that income taxes themselves were designed to fund wars seems dubious at best.

Federal income tax was initiated in Canada in 1917 to help finance the First World War. The struggling economy and a political crisis resulting from conscription triggered its need. In the first years, income tax was imposed on a minute share of the population, but today, almost 80 per cent of Canada’s population files tax returns.
