Original Note:
Prior to 1913 Americans did not pay income tax, but that does not mean that the government did not take any of their earnings. Instead Americans paid sales taxes and tarrifs, which fell disproportionately heavily on working people as more of their income went to taxed goods. https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jan/21/facebook-posts/modern-income-tax-structure-born-1913-americans-pa/
