The anti-constitutional revolution of 1913 continues: Democratic (socialist/proto-fascist) President Wilson signs the Underwood Tariff Act, lowering the levels of the Payne-Aldrich Tariff by ten percent. But the act also imposes an unlawful personal federal income tax:
- Establishing the number of income tax brackets at six;
- Establishing the lowest personal rate on the first 2,000 Dollars earned at one percent; Establishing the highest personal rate on amounts earned over 500,000 Dollars at seven percent; and
- Doubling the tax on corporate profits from one to two percent.
NOTES:
- This act revives the previously abolished practice of imprisonment for debt, as those convicted for not paying income tax are incarcerated.
- This is the further realization of plank number two of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx.
