Instead of hiring more of 'em complete with guns! Beam me up!

YES!!!!!!!!!! I upvoted the heck out of this one.

Thank you, Adam!

In yesterday's press conference, Donald Trump said that the United States did not have or need income taxes between 1870 and 1913, because all of America's revenues came from tariffs. Maybe if we step up American manufacturing enough that all the other countries in the world want to buy our products no matter how much they cost, and charge tariffs on foreign countries that purchase those products, we can make your dream of abolishing the IRS a reality.

Not quite, taxes on liquor were a big part of revenue. That’s why they had to have the Income Tax amendment implemented before they could outlaw booze. Income tax 16 . Prohibition 18.

So they had to wait to create an income tax before enacting Prohibition. I did not know that.

Right. Two wrongs make it twice as bad
