Price range: $24.95 through $29.95
A bold statement for Americans who know history and refuse to forget it.
The “Taxation Is Theft – Temporary Since 1913” tee delivers a powerful message with a vintage, distressed design that hits hard without saying a word. Printed on a premium black shirt with durable, soft ink — this is more than apparel. It’s a reminder.
✔ Veteran-owned
✔ Patriotic, freedom-focused design
✔ Built for everyday wear
Taxation Is Theft — And It Was Never Supposed to Be Permanent
In 1913, Americans were told income tax was temporary. Over a century later, it’s become a permanent burden.
This Taxation Is Theft – “Temporary Since 1913” t-shirt is a statement for those who understand history, value personal responsibility, and refuse to accept government overreach as “normal.”
Featuring a distressed vintage illustration of currency being seized, bold typography, and subtle American flag elements, this design is intentionally rugged — just like the people who wear it.
This shirt isn’t about politics.
It’s about principle.
Built for the Zero Hour Lifestyle
Zero Hour exists for Americans who stand ready — veterans, first responders, hard workers, and freedom-minded patriots who believe responsibility isn’t optional.
Every shirt is produced with care by a veteran-owned operation, using professional screen printing for long-lasting quality that holds up through workdays, range days, and everyday life.

Wore this out the first day I got it and had two people ask me where I bought it. If you know, you know. Quality is solid too—not some cheap print.
Mary –
This one hits. Simple message but says everything. Fits great and feels like it’ll last. Already ordered another design.
Frank –
Wasn’t sure what to expect since I hadn’t heard of the brand before, but this exceeded expectations. Print is high quality and the shirt itself is super comfortable.
Marcus –
Every time I wear this someone brings it up. Definitely a conversation starter.

Accidentally ordered more than one shirt. They immediately got in touch, before I even reached out and assisted with a refund. Wonderful business, completely on top of it.

I ordered a t-shirt for my FIL for Father’s Day. I contacted zero hour because it was showing out of stock. They contacted me right away and took care of it, mailed out the shirt, and I received it all in less than a week. My FIL loves the shirt. Great quality and very soft! Excellent customer service! Definitely will purchase from them again!
