Funny | Over 6000 years ago you got taxed for what your farm produced. Now you pay taxes for your job salary. So taxing people for owning property that doesn't produce anything while taxing the person's salary is robbery. | image tagged in funny,politics,robbery,thief,government corruption,salary | made w/ Imgflip meme maker

Roll Safe Think About It Meme | Initially, taxes were intended to be temporary, but we allowed government to continue taxing the heck out of us | image tagged in memes,roll safe think about it | made w/ Imgflip meme maker
"Civil War (1861): The first income tax was passed to fund the war and was officially allowed to expire in 1872.1894 Income Tax: Declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, driving the need for a Constitutional Amendment.16th Amendment (1913): This amendment was ratified to give Congress the explicit authority to levy a permanent income tax.Initial Scope: The 1913 tax was low—1% on income over \(\$3,000\) (with a top rate of 7%)—impacting very few"

And this is what happens when we let government be in control and we allow them to get bigger!

Income taxes are common sense. I'm talking about property taxes that are not from a commercially producing farm land or any land. People got taxed for making food available to the country. My house doesn't produce anything. Actually now that we have been allowed to have solar panels we literally produce electricity but we still pay for the electrical service.

Yeah, and even after you are done paying for it you still have to pay taxes it for life. I guess they can say it is not their fault why you are not using your home to produce anything.
