The "Temporary" Tax of 1913: The Greatest Wealth Transfer in Human History In 1913, the United States fundamentally altered its economic destiny with two inseparable events: the ratification of the 16th Amendment and the creation of the Federal Reserve. What was sold to the public as a "temporary" tax solely on the ultra-rich quickly mutated into a permanent, inescapable extraction grid targeting the working middle class. This video exposes the hidden mechanics of wealth confiscation, from the World War II-era Ruml Plan that introduced paycheck withholding to the devastating reality of "bracket creep" and the Cantillon Effect. We break down exactly how the financial elite utilize the "Buy, Borrow, Die" strategy to bypass the tax code entirely, while the average citizen is drained by inflation and federal debt.

Didn't you know? ALL taxes are "temporary". I remember when I was stationed in California, back in the 80's, and stayed there for a couple years after getting out of the Navy. California legislature had sold the voters on the LOTTO, by promising that half of the profits would go to public schools. Didn't bother telling them that they were going to take an equal amount, previously taken from the general treasury, away from the school funding, and spend that money elsewhere. After a few years, when the LOTTO wasn't making so much money anymore, they passed a new gasoline tax. 5 cents a gallon the first year, and an added penny per year for 5 more years. And then there were the two late 80's earthquakes, in Los Angeles and San Francisco areas. Lots of damage to the highways, so the legislature passed a 25 cent per gallon tax on gasoline, but promised that it would only be temporary (there's that word again!), until the amount to repair the highways was paid off. That was over 35 years ago. Want to bet that tax is STILL on gasoline??
And it is always for the good of the people or the children or some other BS like 'the greater good.' We the People or so damn naive that it's ridiculous.
Old sayiong, only things sure in life are death and taxes. So far they haven't tried to take my Bible, but I sure haven't been able to escape taxes. Here in New Hampshire we have a state motto of Live free or Die. Even with a very low income as I am retired, I still have to pay real estate taxes on my house and register the car and snowplow. The view of most of the town is that if you can't afford the taxes, you should sell the house and move into an apartment. At 88 and in bad health, a lot of my snail mail is from real estate companies that tell me how much I would get if I would let them sell the house. Even if I did I couldn't give the money to my kids as if I went to a nursing home in the next 5 years, the state Medicaid would want the money back from them, as it was all a trick to cheat the state out its proper nursing payments. The system has went way beyond the federal income taxes. Now they tax you for everything.
I'm nearly 69, retired and disabled, essentially homebound. I keep getting e-mails, texts and phone calls from idiots wanting to buy my home. I simply ask them, "Why do you want to put me on the street and homeless!?". Most just hang up. I soundly cuss out the few who keep on with the "hard sell"!
