COMMENTS: Not one of these taxes existed 100 years ago and our nation
was the most prosperous in the world, had absolutely no national debt,
had the largest middle class in the world and Mom stayed home to raise
the kids.

What the hell happened?

the taxes listed above are associated with the invention of the automobile and the telephone, which, 100 years ago were both in their infancy.

100 years ago, the only mothers that were staying home with the kids were the rich ones Rockefellers, Gettys, Vanderbilts, etc.... Actually, they had nannies, not unlike wealthy mothers of today.
At that time, women had children and went back to work fairly soon. It wasn't until post WW2 that mothers started staying home with the kids.

The only time we didn't have national debt was when Andrew Jackson was president more than 100 years ago.

The day before George W. Bush signed his latest tax cut into law, he officially increased the limit on the national debt by approximately $1,000,000,000,000 to a staggering $7.4 trillion. Only a few will benefit materially from the tax cuts but virtually all of us, and our children, will pay the tab.
The last time I looked, Congress is in charge of the money.

Like I said earlier, we have had a National Debt from the beginning of this nation under every President of every party except when Jackson was President. The next Congress/President get the U.S.A. back in debt.
