Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Franklin Roosevelt, Esq.—without a constitutional amendment—signs the Internal Revenue Act of 1934:

  • Decreasing the number of personal “income” tax brackets from 54 to 30;
  • Maintaining the lowest personal rate on the first 4,000 “dollars” at 4%;
  • Maintaining the highest personal rate on amounts earned over 1,000,000 “dollars” at 63%; 
  • Maintaining the corporate rate on income (profits) at 13.75%;
  • But raising the surtax (progressive rates) on incomes of 4,000 from one to five percent and 55% to 59% on incomes over 1,000,000 “dollars.”

      NOTES:

  • As an attorney (Officer of the Court) Roosevelt was ineligible to serve in two branches of government at the same time, according to Article I, Section 6 [Clause 2]
  • This is the further realization of plank number two of the “Communist Manifesto” by Karl Marx.
