Women’s magazines sure were different back in the day LOL. Yes, income tax in the USA was brought in to collect ‘Civil War’ debt from ‘citizens’ of the newly created 14th amendment US (admiralty-law) corporation… incidentally this is related to the major reason Lincoln (prideful fool that he was) was assassinated… because he wanted to return to relative USA normalcy (default on the aggressive war debt, return to the Silver standard, not punish the South much, and send the blacks to Libera). Of course, the ‘synagogue’ bankers used his ambition, and then disposed of him before he could ‘right the ship’ the same thing happened to General George S. Patton, of course. No, if Lincoln was wise he would have sooner let the South go peacefully as was their right under the terms of the USA confederation, and then sought free trade and military alliance with the new confederation. Anyway, back to the point, the IRS was created as a branch of the IMF, and the US corporation (in permanent debt to the IMF [one front for the synagogue bankers] for the cost of the ‘Civil War’, allowed the IRS to collect tax from the 14th amendment corporate ‘citizens’). Of course, with the creation of the deceptively named ‘Federal Reserve’ banking corporation, this was rendered not strictly necessary as wealth from the people could then be extracted simply by creating new eye-cap pyramid scheme notes AKA ‘dollars’. However the sadistic rulers never dodge a chance to afflict their slaves, and uglify the world.
