The Income Tax

""The Income Tax: Root Of All Evil"" is a book by Frank Chodorov that explores the history, philosophy, and impact of income taxation in the United States. The author argues that income tax is a violation of individual liberty and property rights, and that it has led to a range of negative consequences, including the growth of government power, the erosion of personal responsibility, and the suppression of economic growth and innovation. Chodorov traces the origins of income tax in the early 20th century and examines its evolution over time, from its original purpose as a temporary wartime measure to its current role as a permanent fixture of the American tax system. He also discusses various alternatives to income tax, such as consumption tax and flat tax, and considers the potential benefits and drawbacks of each approach. Throughout the book, Chodorov provides a thought-provoking critique of income tax and its impact on American society, offering insights and arguments that are sure to stimulate debate and discussion among readers interested in economics, politics, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
