True! So few people get this. I discussed this in more detail on another thread. They see him as "saving the union" but he set the precedent for the usurpations of other statist Presidents like Wilson and FDR. He issued greenbacks as legal tender and introduced the income tax. Both were struck down by the Supreme Court after the war, but the statists never gave up their fight to get them back. |
He created the income tax because the war had to be paid for some way or another. |
The war was unnecessary, therefore the tax was unnecessary. Only the United States and Haiti had to resort to war to end slavery. Every other country in the world did it peacefully.
