    I just finished it for like the 10th time. Lincoln and Grant were two of the top 5 Americans that ever lived.

    Lincoln was a piece of shit
    Is this an attempt at whooshing me @MikeDamone ?
    Nope. Fucker was a piece of shit
    Can you expand on this opinion? I’d like to hear more.
    I would too. My high school history teacher was the only other person I’ve ever heard speak ill of Abe. Lincoln did things like suspending Habeas Corpus, etc., but I hardly think that wipes out everything he did while in office.
    Knowing what I know of @MikeDamone i think the first income tax in our? History might be the culprit.

    Fun fact. And it was only levied on the high income earners.

    Income Tax: The Revenue Act of 1861 levied a 3% flat rate income tax on those with an annual income at or exceeding $800. In 1861, only 3% of the population earned more than $800 per year; as such, the tax enjoyed relatively widespread support among legislators.
    Of course, that's how they were able to dupe dumbfucks like you into supporting it. The tax will only be levied on rich people swearsies. And then guys like you support it and the next thing you know it's being levied on everyone.

    Libertarians loathe Lincoln for suspending Habeas Corpus. Centralizing federal authority, outside the constitution.

    The nuances of taxes elude me at times.

    Killing 300,000 Rebs to preserve the Union and free the slaves wasn’t cheap. Income tax went away for nearly 50 years once the war was one.

    I'm also a big fan of regulations that are supposed to be a roadblock for the big corporations, but end up only jamming up small and medium businesses.
