The spirit of this post is not diminished by these details. I appreciate “the rest of the story” but it’s easy to see how the US govt by way of legal manipulation circumventing the Constitution is way out of line getting in the pockets of its citizens.

Politico lmfao

The way they said ''the US taxed citizens before to pay for the civil war" made me think, that is exactly the problem - taxation is a form of theft.

It illustrates that it has always been a tax "justified" by war. That is why the country must always be at war. 1984

Americans kept all of their earnings until the civil war, not 1913

They started taxing everyone and moved towards giving different skin colors equal rights and called it "abolishing slavery"

Nothing to do with today's genocide in Gaza

The income tax was imposed in two separate instances specifically to fund a war. That mutated into the need for constant war to continue the "justification", putting Gaza in the crosshairs.

Well the real connection is overpopulation made all lives worthless to the rulers, not just those of different skin color, and the more the population outsizes the available resources, the more the rulers panic and get increasingly psychopathic and bloodthirsty
