Additionally, Congress has passed some supplementary bills, such as imposing additional surtaxes during war, with half of their income going to taxes.
However, Congress also offered them a choice: purchasing war bonds could exempt them from these additional surtaxes, effectively driving people to banks to buy war bonds.
Stuffing the money of ordinary people into their own pockets is something Congressmen, top politicians, and rulers simply cannot refuse!
After all, power has a shelf life. If you don't use it within its shelf life, no one will praise you; they'll just say, that's what you're damn well supposed to do.
But if you use it, you will gain wealth, status, greater power, more people's respect, and more stable family influence.
Who wouldn't be tempted?
