So even though there was no income tax in our Republic until 1913 that’s crazy???

We went 140 years without an income tax. The Feds some how managed to get by.

Ron Paul wants to

1) Gradually abolish the income tax.
2) Shrink the government down to it’s Constitutional Size
3) Force it to go to other resources for cash.

The balance sheet is a wreck.

I agree with scaling it back but I to not agree with Wrong Paul.

You need to ask how prior to 1913 the Fed was able to get by.

Tariffs. AKA VAT
