Trying to use your own ideals against you is a tactic of Alinskyites, narcissists, and satan. I once had an income tax apologist try to tell me that my recognition of its coercive unfairness was “unamerican”. I had to remind the straw-grasping dolt that the 1913 income tax legislation was when America was already 137 years old, as well as being inspired by the writings of unamerican Karl Marx.
