Lunacy? What's insane about it? And what is vague about it? Wealth redistribution and taxing people's labor is an abomination. This is self evident and people much smarter than you realized that over 200 years ago....
Any support for that? I'll assume you mean the Framers although you continue to be vague.

Here, I'll help... Maybe your copy of the Constitution outlaws taxation, but this is what mine says:

First sentence of Article I, Section 8:
"The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises"

I mean it seems to me that gives Congress the power to lay and collect taxes - I could be wrong though, you know how vague that wording can be...
