The American people were not taxed directly by the Federal government until the fraudulent ratification of the 16the Amendment in 1913. The maximum tax in 1913 was 7%,, but in 1917 the maximum tax rose to 63%. In 1952 the maximum tax was 92%.
World War I, World War II and the Korean War were very costly and our debt and taxes rose sharply, Governments fund wars with the money they borrow from the international bankers and last year Congress borrowed 3 trillion dollars to cover the interest on the National debt.
