The trouble is that most wage slaves LOVE their servitude. It's become comfortable for them, as it was for me before I became red-pilled. One doesn't see or feel the chains of their servitude until their eyes are opened. But America did quite well before the imposition of the income tax, by imposing tariffs on foreign goods and other revenue measures. The income tax was introduced in a stealthy way, by first taxing only the highest incomes.... few people objected because their income was way less than the top tier. And then ever-so-slowly the level was lowered over time until it included nearly everyone. That's how insidious governments work, slowly slowly slowly bringing the frog's water to boiling point while the frog doesn't notice.
