Listen "Taxation and Representation"
Episode Synopsis
Philosophics Blog explores the irony surrounding the Republican Party's historical role in establishing federal income tax in the United States. The author uses ChatGPT as a starting point to highlight that the same political group now strongly opposes taxation and the IRS. It emphasises that the 16th Amendment, enabling income tax, was largely a Republican initiative under President Taft. The piece suggests this historical fact is a contradiction to the party's current stance, portraying history as somewhat mischievous in this regard.https://philosophics.blog/2025/04/06/taxation-and-representation/
