Summary

This quote suggests that the income tax, established in the early 20th century, was an unsuccessful socialist experiment. It argues that prior to the income tax, the government had no right to individuals' income, with only sales and tariff taxes being permissible. The quote seems to criticize the income tax as an intrusion on individuals' financial rights and promotes the idea that alternative tax systems were more suitable and effective before its implementation.
