Ever check out the Constitution to see which taxes are allowable by law (the Constitution is the Supreme law of the land) and which should never have been enacted. (Enacted illegally, as any 'law' that is repugnant to the Constitution is unconstitutional and therefore, illegal. Check it out.
Yeah. yeah I do. It's not a hard document to read. More folks on this board need to actually crack one open.
Article I, Section 8:
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's pretty broad. The 16th Amendment also gives congress the power to tax Income.
Well, that's where they'll argue literal modern day welfare. I am sure that has already been pointed to as to why taxpayers have to fund welfare, by some politician somewhere.
As a Constitutionalist, it's a neat document but boy is there a lot to criticize after how much of it has been subverted.
Some could argue that amendments really should have stopped at the mark of ten.
Imo, election of senators should have stayed with the states. Currently more state legislatures are majority republican and naturally would have voted for republican senators. We could have had a super majority in the senate had they not monkeyed around with that.

For sure. it's too broad and has never been fettered. General welfare could mean anything unfortunately.
I don't think I agree with you on everything after 10 though. you leave out some good ones:
Can't wait for some old boys to downvote because I think 13 and 19 are good things ;)
