The above is actually conflation - conflating or associating two
separate things as though one cancels out the other. Conflation is
not useful to progressing an argument, although (if your interlocutor
is insufficiently familiar with conflations) it can be useful to shut
down a conversation.

So we have various facts:

  - pre-1913, no income tax, no Federal Reserve

  - also pre-1913, slavery, ethnic cleansing etc


We don't throw out the facts surrounding the unconstitutional and
illegal and immoral Federal Reserve, just because "other bad stuff"
was happening prior to and after the existence of, the Federal
Reserve. To throw out the former, due to the latter, can be termed
conflation, or "throwing out the baby with the bathwater".

Now, once again, as you so kindly asked for me to do a little
research for you and provide some readily clickable facts, I shall do
so :)

Facts in support.


The Federal Reserve Act:

  - is unconstitutional

    https://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/082115/why-do-some-people-claim-federal-reserve-unconstitutional.asp

    The U.S. Constitution does not mention the need for a central
    bank, nor does it explicitly grant the government the power to
    create one. Those who adhere to a strict interpretation of the
    Constitution believe the government does not have any authority
    not specifically listed as one of the Enumerated Powers of
    Congress. Critics also argue the Federal Reserve Bank violates
    the Constitution by being too closely tied to the private sector,
    and it lacks transparency and accountability.


  - was "passed" by parliament on Christmas Eve
  - was "passed" without a chorum

    (See "An essay on the history of banking" below)
      "The Federal Reserve was chartered by an act of deceit, when
      most of congress had gone home for Christmas holiday, on
      December 23rd, 1913. The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, had
      passed the house, but it was having difficulty getting through
      the senate.  Regardless, no recess had been called, while
      nearly every senator had gone home. Only three senators passed
      the act with a unanimous vote of 3-0. There were no objections.
      If there had been one person present in the absence of a
      quorum, the bill would not have passed."

    There is a contra to this though:
    https://famguardian.org/Subjects/MoneyBanking/FederalReserve/FRconspire/fra.htm
    which claims that the next day the bill was passed 43-25.

    Perhaps someone could dig up actual parliamentary records.


  - is immoral

    all (fiat) "money" is created by debt alone, effectively
    "printing" money every time any entity (individual, government,
    corporation, etc) gets a "loan"

    - this is also against the biblical prohibition of usury


  - is unethical

    in a purportedly democratic regime of government, the printing of
    money should not be a power held by one (or a small number of)
    families, who do so by usury

  A Historical Perspective: The Banking Monopoly

  I. Introduction: The Federal Reserve Act of 1913

  In 1913, the U.S. Congress passed a bill called the Federal Reserve
  Act. This bill allowed an independent, non-government group to
  privatize, and take control of America’s monetary system. The
  Federal Reserve Bank’s name was chosen by this group so as to
  deceive the American people into believing that the Federal Reserve
  was a branch of the U.S. government. This privately held monopoly
  continues even today to give enormous power to a handful of
  international bankers, non-Americans, to issue America’s money, to
  set interest rates, to finance endless wars, and to enslave the
  American citizens, and the other nations of the world in a state of
  perpetual debt. This debt based monetary system is what has
  destroyed the American economy, and has brought with it
  depressions, and recessions for several generations. This will
  continue, until the Federal Reserve, and the fractional reserve
  lending practices of the centralized banks ceases to exist.

  In 1923, Representative Charles A. Lindbergh, a Republican from
  Minnesota, and father of the famous aviator “Lucky” Lindberg
  stated, “The financial system has been turned over to the Federal
  Reserve Board. That board administers the finance system by
  authority of a purely profiteering group. The system is private,
  conducted for the sole purpose of obtaining the greatest possible
  profits from the use of other people’s money.”

  Former chairman of the House Banking, and Currency Committee,
  during the great depression era, Louis T. McFadden stated in 1932,
  “We have in this country one of the most corrupt institutions the
  world has ever known. I refer to the Federal Reserve Board. This
  evil institution has impoverished the people of the United States,
  and has practically bankrupted our Government. It has done this
  through the corrupt practices of the moneyed vultures who control
  it.”
