I actually never asked for an income tax, either.

Someone with too much money.

A few years ago when there was a serious push by average folks to get rid of the DST deal, the travel and entertainment industries (think amusement parks) as well as pro sports teams, and quite a few other special interest groups spent millions on pushing Congress to-- instead-- expand DST. The money flowed and the DST was expanded by about eight weeks.

When entire industries are involved making a lot of money, it is impossible to get rid of whatever that is whatever it be the DST, the income tax, etc.
