How was the government of the USA able to function without income taxes from 1776 to 1913 ?
well.
income taxes social control, not raising revenue.
income taxes still represent smaller portion of revenue people realize. eliminating small number of d.c.'s illegal programs (ie: things prohibited constitution anyway) enable balanced budget while ending personal taxes @ same time.
with exception of few years in 1860's?
