DEMOCRATS- Stealing Your Money Since 1913

Let’s get one thing straight: the federal income tax as we know it today is a 20th-century invention, not some eternal fixture of American life. For the first 137 years of the Republic, the United States ran just fine, fought wars, built railroads, and became the world’s richest nation, mostly without taxing citizens’ wages directly. Then came 1913, the year everything changed.

**The 16th Amendment & the Revenue Act of 1913**
After a Civil War-era income tax (1861–1872) was allowed to expire and an 1894 attempt was struck down by the Supreme Court in Pollock v. Farmers’ Loan & Trust Co., progressives finally got their wish. On February 3, 1913, the 16th Amendment was ratified:
> “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.”

Eight months later, the Revenue Act of 1913 was signed by President Woodrow Wilson, a DEMOCRAT. The tax started small, almost comically so by today’s standards:

- Only 1% on incomes above $3,000 ($4,000 for married couples) ≈ $90,000 and $108,000 in 2025 dollars.
- A “surtax” that climbed to 6% on incomes over $500,000 (about $15 million today).
- Fewer than 3% of Americans even had to file a return.

Politicians swore it would never touch the average worker. Treasury Secretary William McAdoo called it a tax on “the very rich.” Famous last words.
**World War I: The Foot in the Door**
By 1918, the top rate hit 77% to fund the war. Millions of ordinary Americans were dragged into the system for the first time via payroll withholding (yes, withholding started in 1917, not 1943). When the war ended, rates came down, but the precedent was set: Washington now had a permanent claim on your paycheck.
**The New Deal & World War II: From “Rich Only” to Everyone** FDR (DEMOCRATIC) needed cash for his alphabet-soup programs. In 1935, the top rate jumped to 79%. By 1944–1945, it reached a staggering 94% on income over $200,000. More importantly, the tax base exploded. In 1939, about 7% of Americans paid income tax. By 1945, over 70% did. Payroll withholding, made permanent in 1943 under the Current Tax Payment Act, turned employers into unpaid IRS agents and made taxpaying feel inevitable instead of voluntary.
**Post-War: The Permanent Leviathan**
Rates eventually fell (top marginal rate hovered in the 70% range through 1950s–1980), but the system never shrank back to 1913 levels. Every economic crisis, every war, every new federal program became an excuse to keep or raise rates. Reagan’s (Republican) 1986 reform slashed the top rate to 28%, the lowest since the 1920s, but Bill Clinton (DEMOCRAT) raised it to 39.6%, George W. Bush (Republican) cut it to 35%, Obama (DEMOCRAT) to 39.6% again, Trump (Republican) to 37%. The headline rate bounces around, but the core truth remains: the federal government now takes a cut of nearly every dollar most Americans earn.
**The Numbers Today (2025)
- Top federal marginal rate: 37% + 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax for high earners.
- Add state income taxes (0–13.3%) and payroll taxes (15.3% combined, half “paid by employer” in theory).
- The average American now surrenders roughly 30–45% of their income before they even see it.
- The IRS collects over $2.2 trillion in individual income taxes annually, more than the entire federal budget in 1990 (adjusted for inflation).
**The Bottom Line**
In 1913, Americans were promised a tiny tax on the ultra-wealthy that would never grow or touch the working man. One century later, the income tax is the federal government’s largest single revenue source, and withholding makes it almost impossible to escape. The politicians who sold the 16th Amendment as a limited measure on “robber barons created the most efficient wealth-extraction machine in human history.
Democrats-They’ve been stealing your money, legally, since 1913.

It’s time to stop accepting the Government mistreatment of citizens over these Invaders.

Why is there no media outrage over this? I’ll explain it to you in simple terms. White on Black or Police action against Black that can be twisted as racism sells views and clicks. It promotes the Leftist Agenda. Black on White Crimes or Police on White Crime doesn’t. Law abiding White Citizens rarely go over the top and burn the city because most of them are Conservative and peaceful by nature. Blacks and Leftists will go burn a city even if they can’t explain why they are “OUTRAGED “

The bodycam footage of Henry Nowak has just been released.

An 18-year-old who was stabbed FIVE TIMES called the police for help.

His attacker told officers Henry was a racist.

So they handcuffed the victim.

Henry told them over and over:

"I've been stabbed."
"I can't breathe."
"Please brother, I can't breathe."

An officer responded: "You've been stabbed, mate? I don't think you have."

Henry died in handcuffs.

The mainstream media has said NOTHING.

Where is the same outrage from when George Floyd died?

Watch this footage. Share it everywhere.

Pray for Henry’s family.

Yes

@RevRayCistman Look who’s the racist. But the media will defend this pice of 💩 to the bitter end.

[PBTP🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇺🇸 @PBTPinc]

If this is true why hasn’t anyone been arrested? Politicians love to point out serious crimes against the people but only Democrats will do everything they can to jail the opposition. They will make up judicial law and lie like hell. Fabricate evidence. But Republicans can have a video and the smoking gun and all they do is complain about it. Stop talking about it and throw the traitor bastards in prison!

There is a media blackout on crimes committed by blacks. The media is completely corrupt and racist. They are the modern day SS media.

WHERE IS THE MEDIA COVERAGE?!!!!!!!!!!

Tax payers should be able to file a civil lawsuit against the government for stealing our money.

Release the footage, you evil bastards!

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Both men said “I can’t breathe”, but only one man’s death was covered relentlessly by the media.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that the legacy mainstream media is incredibly, hatefully racist against Whites.

@sarahadams Many of these drivers are moving to running hot shot loads with a pickup truck and smaller trailer or a smaller box truck. These setups do not require a CDL. They still can’t speak, read or write English and are a safety hazard to everyone else on the road.
