美國的建國fathers們從頭就建立了tax體係, really?

Suggest to learn more US history.

Thomas Jefferson may have some idea about progressive income tax, it was not in practice. The income of US governments were largely from Tarrifs.

US income tax system was not established until the establishment of Federal Reserve, which stripped government's income revenue benefit of printing money.

Quote:

"Income for federal government

Tariffs have played different roles in trade policy and the economic history of the United States. Tariffs were the largest source of federal revenue from the 1790s to the eve of World War I, until it was surpassed by income taxes. Since the revenue from the tariff was considered essential and easy to collect at the major ports, it was agreed the nation should have a tariff for revenue purposes."

"Romney上台，福利是不會動的，因為不敢動。他要接著出兵，漲軍費，錢哪裏來？他一貫就是玩模糊戰術，根本講不清錢哪裏來。他要cut的所有的使我們社會更美好的東西（art，science，education），而去support軍費打仗。一個月的軍費頂一年的所有這些program的錢！"

You think cutting art, science and education can support future wars?

Get real, it is called deficit spending, which neither OBM and Romney can escape that fate.
