Learning and understanding history are very important. But because our public education system is more focused on 57 different genders and not actually teaching anything, people don't know (and they definitely don't understand) history.

As this writer told you, the original income tax started off as 1% of income over $3000 a year (at at time when the average hourly wages was $0.20). And now everyone gets taxed. Government always expands, invariably.

Oh, our sweet summer child. You could not be more wrong.
They’re paying income tax if they make 50k, they’ll pay this one day too. The income tax didn’t stay for the 1% only for long.

They will.
Because if you have half a brain you realize it will still affect you in other ways.

In higher costs, for starters.
But if there's no incentive for the wealthy to invest in the economy without massive penalties, they'll take their wealth out of the markets and everything will fall apart.
Sounds like there's a lot of people making $50K a year that are much smarter than you.

Taxation is theft.
They taxed those worth $100 million, and I said nothing, because I was not worth $100 million. https://t.co/Vt1Lpf9XOp

Eventually, these 'wealth taxes' will trickle down to you.
This is one of the worst leftist lines of argument. It's about appealing to people's most selfish instincts, demanding them to disregard all that doesn't affect them (surprise surprise, it does affect them, but that's another discussion). It always makes me think of this: https://t.co/MuSNfyYPCq pic.twitter.com/0DSQa0L07i

It really is one of the worst arguments.
When the income tax began in 1916, it taxed income starting a $20k. $20k in 1916 is equivalent to $577k now.
The TOP tax bracket was 13% on $2mil or more -- which is $57mil in 2024 dollars.
That's why no one trusts a new tax "only on millionaires" -- b/c it will be everyone. https://t.co/QRfEeQOIQI pic.twitter.com/cWEKMAl06U

History and facts.
The original income tax was only supposed to target the wealthiest people too.
The 80,000 IRS agents were supposed to be for Warren Buffet and Mark "Cuban". They went after waitress tips.

The IRS always goes after the middle- and lower-classes.

Same attitude.
IQ chart meme:
Low IQ and High IQ - "that tax is coming for me"
Midwits - "its only going to tax the rich" https://t.co/2KsB31RF3J
