There is no such thing as a "temporary tax." Every single one that has ever been enacted has become permanent and has outgrown its original amounts and has outlived the "problem" that it was supposed to fix. TAXATION IS THEFT.

As I recall my history, the Federal government raised revenue back then from tariffs and import duties. I think that today's tariffs and import duties is just the right dollar amount to support a smaller, more efficient government. Once we root out all the parasites and grifters, maybe we could once again have a working government.
