Woodrow Wilson brought us the so-called “progressive” income tax which is of course a regressive Marxist idea. There is no limit to Federal domestic taxation under the 16th amendment.

“In his first term, Wilson persuaded a Democratic Congress to pass the Federal Reserve Act, Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act and America’s first-ever federal progressive income tax in the Revenue Act of 1913.”

“Nevertheless, in most advanced countries, the following will be pretty generally applicable… A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.” Karl Marx
