This power has always existed. But, for 225 years it was never exercised. And even in 2010, this power was carefully disguised as anything other than a tax. Why is that?
Now the cards are on the table. Congress can tax anything & anybody. But THEY have to initiate the tax - who pays, who doesn't pay, how much & how little. And they cannot delegate this constitutional responsibility to anyone else.
Some would call this accountability. Raw state power has been laid bare for all to see, but they can't hide behind the commerce clause to enact their programs.
They've got to do it out in the open.
The only solution to limit the governments power to tax us. It is used as a form of punishment to hard working people. The government has proven that unlimited power to do anything will be abused by them and with the welfare state seeming to be the most powerful. The only thing to do is limit their power to enslave us.
The government should never police the people. It is the people who need to police the government and one way to do that is to limit power. I do not care what it takes. An R by your name has proven to be a liability anymore. None of those creatures can be trusted with that kind of power.
