To all those marching in three cornered hats, here is Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution. Powers of Congress- The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States:***It continues with things like borrowing money for credit and regulating trade with foreign nations. So lets cut all the crap about how taxes are unconstitutional. We may not like them but we need them. A bit like cough medicine, sometimes.
