Even Milton Friedman favored a negative income tax to tackle poverty. Today's libertarianism morally and intellectually bankrupt.

LOL "Adherence to non-violence and refusing to support threatening people w/ harm to force ideas on them, is morally bankrupt"

You've defined being forced to pay taxes as violence. This re-definition has zero basis in American history, or even western civilization.

No basis in American history? Like nearly all of the Framers opposing income tax and it not existing for the 1st 100yrs of American history?

A distinction without significance. Constitution was explicitly amended to allow for income tax. Less regressive than consumption taxes

Washington was in the wrong there - if I was alive then, I'd have chided him over that failure. Do find more cherries to pick, won't you?

Yes and after the Whiskey Rebellion America went back to totally not requiring citizens to pay taxes

Why yes, as a matter of fact, there remained no unbound income tax for another 80 years afterward.

This particular debate is really just factions slinging their bumper stickers at each other. I doubt anyone is going to convince anyone.
