the income tax barely existed

The income tax was created to make up for the loss of taxes on alcohol sales after the start of Prohibition. I still can't believe how destructive the first female political cause (Prohibition) was. It gave rise to the income tax, organized crime, bigger government.

Pretty sure the income tax was created in 1913 but wasn't past a few % until 1916-1918
