Hey, in Germany we still pay 'taxes' for

1. The german fleet of pre 1914 - champagne is being taxed to support the german Navy; as William 2nd said "who has money for champagne can support the fleet".

2. The allied airlift to Berlin - Germany certainly had to pay for it, and so the parliament created an additional car tax to the already existing fuel tax, to finance the airlift.

We still pay for both. Taxes, once created, will never be taken back

Not doubting what you state but how are you still paying taxes for something over one hundred years ago?

Income tax in the U.S.A. started around WWI.
It was said to only last to aid the War effort.
Once it was passed?

GFL getting it removed!

So, you're saying it's fascism?
