   Income tax applied to less than 1% of the population when it was implemented. #SocialismSucks

     A husband and wife filing separate returns (IRS) is still considered one household (Census)...

     ... so how does it go above 100%?

     I assume we're talking about PERSONAL, not Corporate.

     @ILoveAmericaNews 1st IRS boss had a brilliant idea to take out a full page ad in the Wall Street Journal & fear monger business owners saying 'you MAY owe this tax' which drove businesses to fill out IRS withholding forms & give IRS money belonging in their workers' paychecks.

     To get their money back, workers had to submit another IRS form which implicitly made them subject to IRS regulations when in truth they weren't. It was a tax on OFFSHORE (overseas) income. Why their HQ's in Puerto Rico
