Documentarian Ken Burns discusses the history of Prohibition and the power of the Anti-Saloon League. He explains how the 16th Amendment (income tax) was essential to Prohibition because it replaced the federal government's reliance on liquor tax revenue, which previously accounted for 70% of internal revenue.
Phineas Priesthood and Tax Resistance Movements
The DHS document highlights the "Phineas Priesthood," a group that uses biblical justification for interracial killing and violence. It also targets the "Tax Resistance Movement," which argues that income taxes are unconstitutional. The hosts note the addition of "Explosives" to the ATF's name (now ATFE) and criticize the government's broad categorization of dissent as a precursor to terrorism.
