The 16th Amendment: How the U.S. Federal Income Tax Became D.C.’s Favorite Political Weaponby TDB, Wed, 10/16/2019 - 19:07, By Sam Jacobs via The Daily Bell The American Revolution was sparked in part by unjust taxation. After all, the colonists in Boston rebelled against Britain for imposing “taxation without representation,” and summarily tossed English tea into the harbor in protest in 1773. Nowadays Americans collectively spend more than 6 billion hours each year filling out tax forms, keeping records, and learning new tax rules according to the Office of Management and Budget. Complying with the byzantine U.S. tax code is estimated to cost the American economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually – time and money that could otherwise be used for more productive activities like entrepreneurship and investment, or just more family and leisure time. The majority of these six billion hours sacrificed by Americans to Washington each year goes to complying with a tax that didn’t even exist until 100 years ago – the federal income tax. www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-10-16/16th-amendment-how-us-federal-income-tax-became-dcs-favorite-political-weapon
