Lincoln was incredibly prescient. I wish this site would run his quote reagarding instituting a permanent income tax. It was something to the effect - Here I paraphrase him - " We must never enact a permanent income tax because were we to do so it would engender swarms of accountants and regulators across the nation such as we today cannot imagine." 1863?

Well it is abundantly clear that Robert and Anonymous are products of our wonderful public education system. Robert, you have been so thoroughly indoctrinated by the minions of the NEA that you don't even know what you don't know. And Clark, Lincoln was very well versed in the Bible, no matter what the revisionist historians have taught you, and in Proverbs there is a verse that goes something like this "Train up a child in the way that he should go, and he will not depart from it".
