So called 'temporary' taxes introduced by liberals eventually always become permanent.


You said it!

Our payroll withholding of income taxes started out during WWII as a temporary emergency wartime measure. If we had to write a check for our income taxes each year, it would be politically harder to raise them .... but when they take your money away from you before you even see it, people don't realize whats happening.

Another selling point is telling the people, this will only be borne by the "rich" ... our income tax started out affecting only a small percentage .... the alternative minium tax was only going to keep millionaires from avoiding income taxes when it started too - now it hits a lot of middle class folks.
