<p>[QUOTE=&quot;phalanxcronos, post: 1725028, member: 38873&quot;]Umm that&#039;s not what the Constitution means by &quot;uniform&quot;, uniform means the Federal government can&#039;t charge different people different rates. Remember when the constitution was written the founders were 100% against an income tax, imposts, duties, excise taxes are all taxes you paid and unless you were involved in manufacturing, selling, important, and exporting ie a business, you would really only be paying excise taxes which would be built into the of the product you were buying. All these types are indirect taxation.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>A direct tax (tax on income, property, capital gains) had to be apportioned based on population, since that was nearly impossible essentially direct income tax was unconstitutional....</p><p><br /></p><p>That is until the progressives/liberals used a page from Satan&#039;s playbook to trick the population into supporting an income tax and passed the 16th amendment.&nbsp; Telling the public that they&#039;d get all this additional government services for a mere 1% for those making under $20k (FYI $20k was a **** ton of money back than about $475k in today&#039;s dollars) and that the ultra wealthy will pay their fair share (sound familiar?) which was between 2%-7%, 7% being on anything over $500k.&nbsp; People thought hey that&#039;s a good deal, so what that government is going to be stealing from use, it&#039;s only 1% and look what we&#039;ll be getting to return. Little did they know that it was the beginning of the end, by the end the decade 1920 tax rates would sky rocket and those making $4k or less were now taxed at 4%, people making $20k 17%, and those making $500k government was stealing up to 71% of their income.&nbsp; The 16th amendment along with the federal reserve is what will destroy the country because with those the government has all the control over the people.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
