Can you isolate a specific source (so that we don't have to go through a bunch of videos that might not even have the info) that says the Income Tax Act of 1913 was to be TEMPORARY.
It wouldn't even make sense, because the tax was passed in 1913, and WW1 did no break out until 1914, with the US getting involved in 1917.
So, the meme cannot be true.
Plus, I doubt that the original text said it was temporary, considering an income tax was ruled unconstitutional in 1895, and they supposedly passed an amendment so they could get around that. I don't think they would have made it temporary, but would be interesting if they did.
The original source text of the statute is the ONLY valid source, not some video claiming it.
The civil war income tax was temporary, and if I recall there was a short lived income tax at the end of the 19th century.
The modern income tax had a limited rollout initially, but I’ve never found when they expanded it to everyone.
I suspect they’ve tricked us with the definition of “income” and because of that, they hid the mass rollout so we couldn’t see precisely what was done.
Am fully open to counter claims. As I noted, just “suspect”, have never found the legal or reliable historic sauce.
where is the proof it was to be temp??? why did we need amendment???
Here are a whole bunch of videos about it: https://www.youtube.com/talos4cs

Here are the Statutes at Large for 1913.
The original Federal Reserve Act starts at page 251 at Chapter 6.
It was passed by Congress December 23, 1913 (when most members where home for Christmas).

I will make a separate thread on the income tax, because it was REALLY an evil LIE in how they implemented it.
