In 1912 there was no Federal Income Tax, no national debt, and NO FEDERAL RESERVE BANK! Now we are taxed slaves!

Your facts are 100% correct but I have one simple question. Let's say we were to go back to pre taxes era. How would we pay for infrastructure.

How do you suggest we pay lets say for roads?
Police
Fire Department.

Should we just make these things a private entitiy and pay say service fees like higher Tolls? Or fire deparmtent fees where only ones that pay get serviced?

Ohh wait but than isn't that the same FUCKING thing with a different Name on it. FEES/TAXES

Yesour governments are not efficient at using our taxes but the reality is that without them we would not have advance in our world.

So unless you plan on picking cotton again for a living. Suck it up and pay your taxes and instead focus on changing our government to be more transaprent and efficient with your money.

With a life expectancy of 40 years. An infant mortility rate of 217 per 1000. Yeah thats better than today right?

And life expentancy and infant mortality have gotten much better because of the fed and income tax?

Do you see what you are defending? Do you even think about what you are saying?

Nothing? How much do you pay for healthcare? How about clean water? Sewage? Education? Roads? Etc...

There was also no infrastructure.

Food took 40% of a persons average wage.

Average homes were 450 sq ft.

Overtaxed compared to what other countries? Somalia?

My God you are an idiot. 100 years ago was 1911. It was know as the era of the Robber Barrons when people worked up to 16 hours a day six days a week in miserable conditions.

In fact, we just passed the 100 year anniversary of the Shirtwaist Factory fire where 146 people died in a sweatshop. The youngest were 2 14 year old girls.

If you support a system like that, you are a sick individual.

Hey, roads and bridges and telephones and so on ain't free. Someone has to pay for it.

Neither are groceries. Why do I pay private citizens a voluntarily agreed-upon price for groceries but I am forced to pay the government whatever it decides I am going to pay for "roads, bridges and telephones"???

Yes, the tax system should be simplified.

It'll never be simplified for the same reason a money-laundering operation will never be simplified. It has to be complex by its very nature to conceal its true purpose and encourage the propaganda myths with which it is surrounded. We are taxed so our rulers can live at our expense. The rest is just details.

The very reason it is so complex is because the rich don't pay their share and have devised all kinds of hidden ways to make the middle and lower middle class pay more.

The rich-vs-government is the most hilarious myth of all. The rich are, by and large, the government's front-line tax collectors. Don't you get it? The argument is not whether the rich should be taxed but, rather, how much of the tax benefit should go straight to Washington DC and how much should be left in the hands of the publicani - the wealthy CEOs, corporate board members and other corporatists who send your taxes in to IRS Headquarters every two weeks. Democrats are aligned with the central power and Republicans are aligned with the publicani. And then they sell the public this big charade that this whole political struggle has something to do with the little people just to keep us fat, dumb and happy.

In fact, your list includes taxes payed by the very lower class that lots of Repubtards claim pay 'no taxes'. Obviously they do, and lots of them.

The tax schedule is designed to be spread across as many people as possible to reduce the potential for revolt. This is why the middle-class is effectively taxed the most heavily because the middle-class is responsible for the largest portion of total economic activity. Taking a little slice from all of that activity creates the smallest total "psychological burden" and creates the minimal chance of tax revolt. Taxation is a goddamn science, nothing about it is an accident or the result of gridlock or confusion of some kind, all appearances aside.

But if you think the average American almost 100 years ago was well off you need to crack open some actual history books and spend less time copying down Paultard talking points.

We were certainly free 200 years ago than today, the blight of slavery, of course, excepted.

My grandmother was a child around then, and as a child (in the New England States) she had to fetch all household water from a well, washed her clothes in a nearby river, help on the family farm and her mother died of tuberculosis when she was ten - a common disease then, mostly preventable and curable now. Many more children were orphans because the second highest cause of death (after tuberculosis) among young women was childbirth.

The average person back then had maybe one or two outfits (that's why closets in old houses were so small) and bathed maybe once a month. There was no TV, no radio, and most people had no central heating, no indoor plumbing, no electricity, had to grow a lot of their own food, were illiterate, saw most of their children die in infancy and often didn't last long themselves.

None of that has anything to do with taxation.

"You load sixteen tons, what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
Saint Peter, don't you call me, 'cause I can't go;
I owe my soul to the company store."

We all owe the company store. We're all living in one big company town.

Same here: Tescomunism.

In 1912 the national debt was 2.9 billion dollars. Please check your facts.
