But was always a temporary fix to pay for wars as it should have been in 1943. That means the income tax is not what it was meant to be

No it was created and used as a temporary fix in other wars but after 1943 that precedent was abandoned and it has been permanent since. It could be said the income tax is illegal because it was designed to be temporary
Contributor
