    You assume they believe that because they’re ignorant. But what if they just know their history? The income tax started with [the exact same promise](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/making-sense/the-income-tax-in-1913-a-way-to-soak-the-rich), a tax targeting only the wealthy, but *somehow*, we all have to pay it now, too.

    I addressed that as well. The wealthy have invested a lot in pushing taxes down to the lower and middle classes. They also have invested a lot to push their agenda.
