We've been paying income taxes for about 95 years, however in the early days if income taxation we paid nowhere near what we pay today, and the system is by law a "voluntary" system. The 16th ammendment was never properly ratified, and is therefore void (but the sham government denies this). There is no legislation giving the US government the authority to punish those who refuse to pay their taxes, yet the government does so anyway. It really is an out of control system.

Teddy Roosevelt had a lot to do with lobbying for that. And without it, we'd never have become the empire we are now.

Bully for him.
