I love how this topic starts an internecine war about which group(s) should be taxed, bringing out people's envies and resentments, instead of focusing us on why the government has, or believes it has, the power to deem certain speech or assembly taxable. I think a lot of talk here missed the point, that the government is the enemy of freedom and liberty.

Great comment.
The constitution was created to limit the abuses that governments normally get around to engaging in.
