[QUOTE="brett636, post: 978865, member: 249"] Being a fairtax supporter myself I know where you are coming from. I just don't know if we will ever get to that point. Sometimes you are as bad as TOS when it comes to facts and how you present them. The income tax was instituted during the civil war as a means to pay for the war, but was repealed once the tax was no longer necessary. It was the democrats in later years that attempted to reinstate the income tax following Karl Marx's call for a highly progressive income tax, but was struck down by the Supreme Court in 1894 ([URL='http://debbyreagan.wordpress.com/2010/12/29/us-supreme-courts-1894-decision-that-income-tax-is-unconstitutional-never-nullified/']Pollock v. Farmers Loan and Trust Co.[/URL]). It wasn't until the democrats were again in power in 1913 that they went with the amendment route with the income tax selling it as a tax that would only affect the very rich, and was able to ratify it on that basis. The income tax we suffer under today is purely the result of the democrat's class warfare tactics and their never ending bid to put every American under the increasingly crushing thumb of the government.
