    Wow. If you think Trump can’t get more nuts, he puts up another shovel of manure.

    The reasons for income tax are not “unknown to mankind”. Why on earth should other countries pay your government? And guess what rode the US into the recession in 1930: random tariffs placed on countries by a conservative government.
