Quote by Alan Keyes
The income tax is a twentieth-century socialist experiment that has failed. Before the income tax was imposed on us just 80 years ago, government had no claim to our income. Only sales, excise, and tariff taxes were allowed.
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.
