Original Note:
The U.S. first introduced an income tax in 1861, envisaging it as temporary measure to help finance the Civil War. it should be temporary because it is an unethical measure, taxes are theft. On this basis it has already been struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional. https://gigafact.org/fact-briefs/was-income-tax-originally-adopted-temporary-measure
