WRONG. 

Income taxes began in 1913. The first $20,000 of 1913 income, or around $500,000 of income today was tax-free. Let's go back to the original income tax rates, you know, an originalist approach. Oh, the top rate? 6%, on 1913 income of $500,000 or about $12 million in today's dollars. 6%. 

100 years later, we have cesspools for cities, failing roads and schools, $20 trillion in national debt, overspending by $500 billion to $1 trillion per year, and idiots who want people earning hourly wages paying income taxes.

HOW STUPID ARE WE?
