> We need income tax, how would we pay for roads without it?

> How did the US fund roads before 1913?

> ...look, we need income tax, OK?

I asked chatgpt that question:

"Before 1913, the funding for roads in the U.S. primarily came from state and local governments. Various methods were used to finance road construction and maintenance:

    State and Local Taxes: Most funding came from property taxes and other local taxes collected by states and municipalities.

    Toll Roads: Many roads were privately funded and operated as toll roads, where users paid fees to use the roads, helping to cover maintenance costs.

    Road Associations: Local communities sometimes formed associations to organize and finance road construction and upkeep, often relying on volunteer labor.

    Federal Aid: While significant federal funding didn’t begin until later, some early federal initiatives, such as the post-Civil War era efforts, provided limited funding for specific projects, especially for military and postal routes.

    Bond Issues: Some local governments issued bonds to raise money for road construction.

The more coordinated and significant federal involvement in road funding began with the establishment of the Federal Aid Road Act of 1916, which marked the start of systematic federal support for road infrastructure."

So a mix of taxes and voluntary community funding basically. Fundamentally worked the same as the modern tax system.

I would not mind taxes at all in a homogenous, healthy, white society. Are my taxes going to build a road to connect a farm to the city to improve the livelihood of the farmer? Are they going to a cancer patient to receive life saving treatment ? Are they going to a military that will actually defend me and my interests and not enforce worldwide ZOG? Okay, that's good. I don't mind that.

Are my taxes going to repair a road that niggers destroyed in an intercity slum? Are my taxes going to life saving treatment for a 25 year old 600 lb obese beaner? Are my tax dollars going to defend Israel? That's where we have problems now.

Hitlers Germany had taxes, mussolinis Italy had taxes, the US had taxes for its entire history, the ancient romans had taxes, the ancient Greeks had a tax for the wealthy and tariffs. Almost everyone had taxes either through tariffs or percentage of income. Okay what would the difference be? Well, one actually directly feeds into the benefit of the nation and thus for you directly, it's a long term investment that benefits everyone in a homogenous and rigorous society. The other one pays for Shaniquas dialysis and schlomos bombs for Palestinian schoolchildren.

The guy in the meme isn't technically wrong but taxes are no longer used for a good reason. It's just to fund zog and your enslavement.

Honestly these debates are retarded, taxes aren't the problem, the cultural decay that's been forced onto us is the problem.

Correct. The US has always had taxes, it had one of (if not the) highest tariff rates in the world prior to 1913, which still pissed of plenty of people in its day.

People act like taxes just popped into existence one day because of jews. No, that's not it. Every functional government... ever. Since Sumer for fucks sake. Has had taxes. The government has to have revenue *somehow*. The articles of confederation made it so that the federal government of the US had to beg for states money for funding, and it was an absolute calamity. Oh, and the state governments still levied plenty of taxes under the articles of confederation. Go figure.

Tariffs or income taxes, every society has done it. Except maybe some isolated tribe of pygmy negroes in Africa, but they still probably have a system of taxation to a tribal chieftain or something via goods instead of currency. If I remember correctly even chimpanzees understand taxes. They at least understand money. Rome would not have lasted 5 seconds if it had no taxation.

If you do not want taxation, be an anarchist. There has never been a functioning government that did not have taxes or tariffs. Even if you have zero income or sales tax, you're more than likely paying a tariff, which is a tax, and which have pissed off plenty of people in the past just like income taxes.

As a Roman, 3 days out of the year paid your taxes. Nowadays, many of us give half a year's labor in taxes.

Roman taxes were levied 1-3% based off of your *wealth*, not your income. Roman taxes *were* heavy handed.

So, if a landowner earned 500 bucks or 5 million bucks or nothing at all … was completely irrelevant (except of course regarding his ability to pay the taxes).

Relevant was, he did own a piece of land, and a house on it, an olive orchard, and 100 slaves, and three dozen livestock, and all of this together was estimated to be worth 100,000 bucks by the tax department … so, normally you payed 1,000 bucks in taxes for it, but could go up to 2,000 in emergencies or 3,000 in really dire “we’re fucked”-emergencies. That 3% rate was of course unsustainable over any longer period of time. Return on Investment on your landowner assets would mostly be somewhere between 1.5% and 2% - under good conditions. Much lower

It was not always particularly fair and not always light. The romans also had a version of sales tax.

However, a tax is a tax. I'm not here to argue that American taxation is not inherently unfair, it is. But there are people who will argue that *all* taxation is unfair and should be gotten rid of. Which is both untrue and would lead to a societal collapse.

You don't have to use that word to be against taxes.
In the old times, even in the first half of 20th century, there were much less taxes, simply because it was easier to hide your stuff or pretend that you didn't get the message. Anyone who prefers the old ways is also against taxes.

The only reason for taxes is winning a war against another race.
And once taxes are set, you are on a timer. The empire starts aging, cancer is already growing inside. Connection between elites and their citizens erode, and retarded ideas and excuses for genociding own people start to brew up.
So it's really better to do without, unless it's necessary.
