You could say that about anything that isn't personal income tax. There's nothing about personal income tax that makes it any more authentic than any other kind

You could say that about anything that isn't personal income tax. There's nothing about personal income tax that makes it any more authentic than any other kind of tax. The federal government spent most of its existence supported by other forms of taxation, without a personal income tax. An equally valid argument (though it still wouldn't be true) could be made that we should just abolish personal income tax and have nothing but corporate taxes.
