But how can you ensure reimbursement for the expenses of financing WWI (1914) and the Communist Revolution (1917) without the Income Tax?
"The Kiss of Death Mistake"
You replay the conversation at 2 a.m. She texted back fast yesterday. Today, nothing. Was that smile friendly or flirty? What did the shoulder touch mean?
Every hour you spend decoding her signals drains your confidence and hands her the controls. Women can sense that insecurity from across the room — and it repels them.
One of the "22 Rules" kills the obsession on the spot: assume she likes you, and act accordingly. Sounds too simple. Works anyway.
Her interest tends to rise to meet your expectations. Psychologists call it a self-fulfilling prophecy.
What is this "taxation is theft" meme I read from american users on twitter?

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

This is similar to the late Vincent Bugliosi's book "The Prosecution Of George W Bush For Murder". A goverment levying irrational and unnecessary taxation that keeps many citizens broke may not qualify as "theft" in the classical sense, in the same way The White House launching an invasion of a foreign nation on transparently fallacious pretexts which results in millions of civilian deaths may not count as "murder", at least not in the way we typically think of that word
Both are living testament that once you get elected to the highest offices in the land, you needn't sweat committing a felony in public and before the cameras... Our judicial system will subject itself to remarkable feats of intellectual contortion, in their efforts to rationalize not sanctioning you, same way they would any ordinary citizen

I had read that Lincoln enacted an income tax to pay for the Civil War. Maybe it was temporary.
In any case states and local governments still levied taxes before the federal income tax, no?

From investopedia:
The first personal income tax was imposed by Congress in 1861 in order to raise revenue for the Civil War. Congress repealed the tax in 1872. The idea was brought back in the 16th Amendment to the Constitution, which established Congress' right to impose a federal income tax. The amendment was passed by Congress in 1909, ratified by the states, and took effect on Feb. 25, 1913. That first year, less than 1% of the population paid income taxes. The rate: 1% of net income.1
