- Description:
- The document discusses the federal income tax system, particularly focusing on the withholding feature implemented by Congress. The author criticizes the lack of limits on administrative agencies in creating rules and regulations, leading to unfair taxation for wage earners. The author also questions the constitutionality of the withholding feature, arguing that it shows a lack of trust in the integrity of workers. Additionally, the author points out that the withholding system resulted in the government collecting more taxes than necessary from workers and having to refund the excess amounts.
