Quote by: The Decider  The US Constitution and specifically the 16th Amendment gives the federal government "the right" to collect taxes. What "theory" are you talking about?
Please cite the constitutional provision that limits foreign aid. |
1. The theory I was using was that, if property is respected, no third party has a right to take any part of a transaction between two individuals engaging in voluntary trade - no income tax can be levied if the individuals rights over their property are respected.
2. For some reason I had come under the impression that one part of the Constitution said that no taxes can be levied upon individual labour for redistribution unless evenly distributed. As I can't find that now, I'll have to admit I was wrong on this point.
