“In both Great Britain and the United States, the basis for mass warfare came just before World War I. The income tax, when coupled with central banking, and followed by the abolition of gold coin redeemability of the banking system, all combined to create the worst war in man’s history, World War I. It was followed by World War II. Then came the Cold War, with its massive military expenditures by the USA. There has been an unbreakable relationship over the past century that combined the graduated income tax, central banking, the abolition of the gold standard, and the rise of empire.”
