Federal Income Tax: The Greatest Scam in American History?

🚨 The Federal Income Tax: The Greatest Scam in American History 🚨

📌 In this video: We dive deep into the history of the federal income tax, how it came to be, and why it’s one of the most unjust systems ever created in America. From the Civil War to today, we break down the twists and turns that got us here, and how we can actually fix this mess. Here’s what you’ll learn:

Segment 1: Back in the Day – No Income Tax, No Problem
We start by going back to a time when America didn’t have an income tax. That’s right—137 years with no federal income tax, funded by tariffs and excise taxes. And the country was doing just fine. Imagine that—no IRS, no tax withholdings, and no endless paperwork. The government wasn’t reaching into your paycheck every week, and we still thrived as a nation.

Segment 2: The Civil War – The First Taste of the Income Tax
In 1861, the government needed money for the Civil War, so they introduced the first federal income tax. But it was meant to be temporary. After the war, it was repealed, and the government learned just how easy it was to start taking a cut of your earnings.

Segment 3: The 1894 Income Tax – Struck Down by the Supreme Court
After the Civil War, Congress tried to reinstate the income tax in 1894, but the Supreme Court struck it down as unconstitutional. This was a rare win for the Constitution, but you better believe the government didn’t give up—they just came back with a sneakier plan.

Segment 4: 1913 – The 16th Amendment Changes Everything
In 1913, the 16th Amendment was ratified, giving Congress the power to tax income without apportioning it among the states. This was the game-changer. The income tax went from something affecting only the wealthy to something that eventually hit everyone, with rates climbing higher over time.

Segment 5: Why the Income Tax is a Scam
Here’s the truth: the income tax is the government’s way of controlling you. They take your money before you even get to use it, and it’s not funding anything you’d necessarily agree with. From endless wars to bloated government programs, the IRS is nothing more than a legalized extortion racket.

Segment 6: What Can We Do?
We don’t have to live like this. There are alternatives to the income tax:
• Tariffs: Let’s tax foreign goods instead of taxing your paycheck. The government used this method before 1913, and it worked.
• Fair Tax Act: A national sales tax to replace the income tax entirely. No more IRS, no more deductions, just a simpler, fairer way to fund the government.
• Flat Tax: A single, flat rate for everyone—no loopholes, no special treatment for the rich or corporations. A straightforward system that’s a hell of a lot better than the current mess.

Segment 7: Trump’s External Revenue Service Idea
Trump has proposed creating an “External Revenue Service,” which would collect tariffs from foreign countries instead of taxing American workers. It’s a bold idea that could shift the financial burden, but it’s not without its challenges.

Final Thoughts: The federal income tax is a scam, and it’s high time we fix it. There are better ways to fund the government without robbing your paycheck. Whether it’s tariffs, a flat tax, or a fair tax, we need to demand change before we get stuck with even more of our money being siphoned off by a system that doesn’t work.
