If a person were to dig a little into IRS history a little.

Looking at the 16th Amendment to the Constitution in 1913. It was sold on taxing the FILTHY RICH and not the working class, given the original initial tax brackets.

1913 Tax Table
Note: With a 1% tax starting at $20,000 (1913) or more on wages.

Adjusted for inflation, that 1913 $20,000 is equal to over $600K in 2025 dollars.

Meaning only around 1% to 3% of all US households, out of 130 million, would be paying Income Tax today.

BUT!
The Rich saw a Congress that like to spend $$$$$ and open to a lot of donations to create Tax Loopholes.

#3 Somehow Income Tax and Federal Reserve Banks became a thing in every single western country btwn 1913-1915. Same lies were recycled in each country to build support for it. So unnatural, taxation is theft.

For perspective, the Christian bible says the Egyptian Slaves only tithed the Pharoah 20% of their labor.

#4 Like tariffs just have each state collect and pay their ‘fair’ share of taxes to the Feds. Somehow an entire state can run on 5-10% but the feds need 20-35%.
