Why are we, the citizens of the USA, seemingly not
protesting for all that we hear and see being done to erode away our freedoms
at what seems like a faster pace than ever today?
In preparing my blog post for my business blog for
introverts and baby boomers, I happened across these 3 separate events that
have an anniversary today:
- The IRS was established by an act of Congress in 1867 to collect taxes.
- Payroll income tax withholding began in 1943, of course, overseen by the IRS.
- Zip code program began by US Post Office in 1963
Goes hand in hand with John Stossel's latest rant about
the 100 Things I Hate About Government. Likely he had more on his list but 100
in a list fits rather tidily in an infographic.
