    You're forgetting income taxes didn't even exist for majority of the nation's history. That, or you never knew.

    We used the money to fight the South and then fight the communists and their failed system of equalizing the wealth... and now the revenue source for the wars is being used to turn the country socialist. awesome.

      Actually the first income tax was introduced in the 1860's so there has been an income tax for the majority of the nations history.

        Actually, you can't do math.


        1776: No income tax
        1861: Income tax to pay for civil war
        1872: Income tax abolished
        1913: Income tax amendment

        85 years before + 41 years in-between >> 95 years since 1913 and 11 years between 1861 and 1872.

          the 401k thing is the biggest issue to me. I doubt most of revvers here care, because few of you actually have a retirement account. But I'm a little pissed that I finally started to get somewhere, and now the goverment wants to fuck me over.

                        That is the most misunderstood statement Marx ever wrote.

                                I work with people and their 401k's all day - you're no the only person who is disconcerned about all of this.
