The Income Tax: Root of All Evil

Frank Chodorov was an extraordinary thinker and writer, and hugely influential in the 1950s. In this classic work, he argues that the income tax, more than any other legislative change in American history, made it possible to violate individual rights.

He argues that income taxes are different from other forms of taxation because they deny the right of private property and presume government control over all things. The foreword is by former IRS commissioner J. Bracken Lee.
