I mean, it funds a global economic hegemony without being nearly as burdensome as taxes in the rest of the developed world, so pretty great?

So you agree then? This wealth tax will soon leech off the middle class?

That the Federal Income Tax is responsible for the United State's brief stint at Pax Americana, 80 years after it was instituted, is highly debatable to say the least.

But this time around, I challenge anyone to confidently say the US will maintain it's "global hegemony" within the next few decades. But at least the middle class will be poorer, and the government more powerful and burdensome than ever.
