Mostly true, 16th Amendment, 1913, but Lincoln did get an income tax imposed on Union citizens earning more than $800 per year at the time of the American War of 1861 t0 1865, which continued to 1872. There seems to have been some kind of income tax briefly during the 1890s.
Declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court….thus the reason for the 16th Amendment (not properly ratified – see “The Law that Never Was” by Bill Benson).
The Creature from Jekyll Island reared it’s ugly head in 1913. The creation of the Federal Reserve essentially gave birth to the IRS and the income tax to finance the debt created when Congress refused to fulfill the constitutional requirement to create the coin of the realm. Prior to the creation of the Central Bank most social services were paid for with tariff monies.
That’s not all that much.

Why? Because we swallowed their democracy scam and became state owned slaves.
They paid for the Fedgov with tariffs. We should return to that strategy.
Income taxes are needed to fight insane world wars, interfere in more than 100 countries, and most important, to buy votes from minorities….
Totally agree with that.
My personal opinion is that the ‘income tax’ looked too juicy for the thieves to resist. All that was required is an IOU for the amount of instant ‘money’ , no waiting for tariffs to come into the treasury. As we also know now, the IOU seems never to have to be repaid.
Money for nothin’ and your chicks for free
Then we have the worthless Milton Friedman to blame for the withholding tax – where they take it from every paycheck instead of once a year. He proposed this during WW2 so the government wouldn’t have to wait for “their” money either. Can you imagine how different things would be if everyone was faced with a HUGE bill every April 15 instead of getting money back or paying just a small amount?? Do you honestly think taxes would have ended up THIS high if folks had to write multi-thousand dollar checks every April?
The people need to get extorted to pay the bankers interest payments on the national debt.

The ‘income’ tax might not be what you think it is.

No one here twigged to that is the year the Federal Reserve was formed?
Income tax was put in place the next year, as I recall to insure the Sheeples could be able to pay the banksters for their Debt Money created out of thin air.
“I care not who makes the laws as long as I get to print the Money.” Debt money that is.
Imagine having to raise taxes to fund the decades of the welfare warfare state!!
The $21 Trillion missing out of the Pentagon, coinciding with the $21 Trillion federal debt! What an amazing coincidence there.
Pentagon missing money very well documented, and NEVER heard of in the MSM.
Eighteen year war in the Afghan mega debacle of war profiteering for absolutely nothing else, as the strongest most expensive, most powerful military, could not defeat a few thousand well identified guys on the ground. As they do not have any Oil or other natural resources, what do they produce that is a great cash crop?
