> There was a time, before 1913, when you could keep every penny you earned. You did not have to file with the federal government, telling them what you earned and giving the feds ~~their~~ *a* cut. Your finances were your business and no one else’s. You had the right to earn, own, and keep property, and it was sacrosanct, guaranteed by U.S. law and tradition.

> There were no audits, investigations, account freezes, withholdings, or any other forms of payment. There was your productivity and you and that’s all.

> How was the government funded? It earned revenue through tariffs.
