The income tax, for one, was never to fund the military. It was imposed during peacetime. It was pure Marxism, being pushed by the old Socialist Labor and Populist Parties, and finally imposed by populist Democrat William Jennings Bryan (which undermined his "religious" credentials).Arms races can happen during peacetime, or did you already forget how we were never at war with the USSR? And the B&O didn't pay ANY taxes to Maryland, which BTW, like any state, also has its own set of government services it had to pay for. Unless otherwise specified, all that tax money still goes into the same pool. |
