Quote:So you are against the Constitution?


I also don't think you understand the concept of fairness... you also have a skewed idea of taxation.


You know the slogan, no taxation without representation. Our founding fathers who we all idolize so much on Fox news didn't say no taxation. They said they wanted a say in how taxation would be implemented...


Fairness in these terms does not mean to remove the rule. It means the rule should be enforced equally to all those that are involved...


The constitution states that the power to tax is within the rights of the government, specifically the legislative branch. So again, why are you against that founding document?

 

I find it interesting that you use The founding fathers of this country to justify an idea (progressive income taxation) that only appeared in the early part of the twentieth century.  Yes, the constitution gives the government the ability to implement  taxes, it also gives voters the right to hold legislators accountable and the freedom to express their views and opinions so what exactly is your problem when someone voices their opinion that they aren't seeing a return for their level of taxation or disagreeing with the premise that their money has to be confiscated for someone else's idea of fairness?
