So where does it say a "progressive tax" is authorized?
Where is the WORD "progressive" even IN the U.S. Constitution? It
isn't. Clearly a progressive tax rate, as we see in today's income tax, is
totally and completely illegal. It simply is not authorized by the U.S. Constitution.
So why do we have it? Simple, the government started spending beyond its means
-- mostly on wars -- and had to come up with a way to raise more money.
This has morphed into the ridiculous tax code we have today,
complete with endless deductions, tax credits, loopholes, rebates and refunds,
exceptions, special privileges, subsidies, classifications, ad nausium. In
other words:
THE U.S. TAX CODE HAS BEEN MADE SO COMPLEX AND LENGTHY IT IS
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE CITIZEN TO UNDERSTAND IT LET ALONE COMPLY WITH IT, THEREFORE
HE IS FORCED TO OUT-SOURCE THE PREPARATION OF HIS TAX RETURNS TO TAX ATTORNEYS.
A tax attorney is an esquire of the State. This is why attorneys
have the abbreviation Esq. after their name. This Esq. means they pretend to
work for you, the "client," the "citizen," but in actuality
they are agents of the State. They work for the State. And like any and all
States, they too are mini blood-sucking parasites. Just like other attorneys
(except for a small list of attorneys that are unusual), the tax attorney gets
rich by contributing to the anti-Constitutional complexity of the tax law. The
citizen, above a certain income level, is thus forced to hire them to fill out
the very tax forms the attorney consulted the government in creating.
WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN; IS THE ENTIRE US TAX CODE SHOULD BE TOSSED
OUT ALONG WITH THE IRS AND CONSTITUTIONAL TAXES REINSTATED.
This means we would have a uniform tax on goods being shipped into
the $15 trillion U.S. market; a uniform tax on all final products at the RETAIL
point of sale and a very small flat tax on personal income. And that's it. No
other taxes. No income tax on corporations to suppress production, no tax on
capital gains to suppress capital formation, no incredibly suppressive
"Value Added Tax" on products at every stage of manufacture and no
property taxes to pay for public schools.
It is totally unfair for people who have no kids, or who send
their kids to private school or homeschool to have to pay for the
forced-education of other kids. Property taxes and school taxes are government
rape and pillage at its worst. Taxes on any kind of production, whether at the
corporate level or the worker level are suppressive to a nation's general
welfare.
People should be taxed on what they CONSUME -- not what they
PRODUCE.
