And are we not using slave labor today? |
"According to the History of the Income Tax in our almanac, the federal income tax was first enacted in 1862 to support the Union's Civil War effort. It was eliminated in 1872, revived in 1894, then declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court the following year. In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the Constitution made the income tax a permanent fixture in the U.S. tax system."
Can't argue the facts... last 50 years our Country has exploded in wealth.
I pay people for labor. I also don't house them in forced shacks, feed them scraps, beat them or kill them.
