How do you know that? I don't know that. But an intelligent person could easily figure out that with no electronic data you could hide money all day long.
Also...since there was NO federal income tax until 1913 I took a look.
It appears that the all time high rates were only for a few years during WWI and WWII.
After WWI the rate went down to 25%.
It jumped back up during WWII and then stayed high all the way through the Cold War.
You seeing the pattern? It's ALWAYS military spending.
Let's cut the goddamn military and bring our troops back home from every base. We haven't been invaded since the War of 1812. WE are the ones who are doing the invading these last few decades.
I'm telling you Tony...we are overtaxed and it's not for building roads and helping people. It's for war.
