History of Federal Income Taxation

Why aren't we taught that there's only

a federal income tax because the progressive movement Received backing from

the Rockefeller family.

You see there was no federal income tax from

1776 to 1861 then there was the Civil War but from 1873

to 1894 there was once again No federal income tax and that's when

the progressive movement

got involved They wanted to establish a federal income tax so that they could tax

the rich and they got what they wanted from 1894 to

1895 there was a federal income tax Until the Supreme Court ruled it

Unconstitutional in Pollock V Farmers, so this and this were Unconstitutional after

Pollock V Farmers.

There was no federal income tax from 1896 to 1913 so the question is

What happened that got us to the 16th amendment?

What happened between this time for most of American history the federal government

collected revenue through tariffs and excise?

taxes, these are

taxes on undesirable behavior like alcohol consumption

and Tariffs would give the government revenue and protect American

manufacturing Well,

the progressives came along and they said that under the tariff system the rich are

not paying their fair share It doesn't allow foreign competition to

lower prices they argued that the federal income

tax would solve this problem by allowing them to tax the

rich and Competition to drive down the price of goods with no consideration

as to what that would do to manufacturing jobs Well,

do you know who it was that would propose the 16th amendment senator?

Nelson Aldrich and why is that relevant you ask because his daughter married

John D Rockefeller

jr. The same Nelson Aldrich who was the architect

of the Federal Reserve Act so the progressives basically handed the most

powerful capitalist in the world a Monopoly over the printing of the dollar and the

ability to reach into

our pockets and tax us But of course at the time the propaganda was don't

worry it will only be a tax on the rich and this

is why I write books to teach our kids about the money system and about how

information is controlled and how Propaganda works because these guys

had it right we had it where there were basically no

Taxes where the government couldn't tax

us and just a little bit of propaganda

and we just gave it away But it hasn't always been this way It doesn't have to

always be this way and the younger generations are waking up in droves and

it's our job To make sure that that continues check out my private homeschool
