Oh yeah, why is it that IRS agents can carry hand guns, but they don't want any of the rest of us law abiding citizens to have them. Do I need to reference the Second Amendment to the Constitution? Yes I said law abiding citizens, you really think your going to keep guns away from the criminals, they don’t carry registered guns anyways, at least not registered to them.
Of course don't forget, they can amend to repeal an amendment as well, if enough people think the original amendment was a bad idea.
Speaking of amendments, what about taxes?
Now our Founding Fathers were pretty smart when they set up tax revenue to be based on population.
No capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or
Enumeration herein before directed to be taken. – US Constitution
The more people requiring government service in an area need to pay more taxes... duh. Who came up with this stupid idea that if you work harder you pay more taxes, or take more risk to generate more return, now pay more taxes. Now this was clairified 100 plus years later... "clairified", they just completely changed it, it was pretty clear before..."No!" See the "Change" below.
Amendment 16 - Status of Income Tax Clarified. Ratified 2/3/1913. - to Ammend the above clause.
"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever
source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to
any census or enumeration."
Now I understand the reason was to support the efforts of World War I, and it was important that we did that then, but now what. Need I remind you that the top tax bracket in 1913 was 7%, which if you do the math, would still be enough to cover our military expenditures, considering whether we like it or not, we are a nation at war, becasue everybody want to take what we have fought to create and protect. Thankyou to anyone who has selflessly served in our nations military. Where does the rest of that 28% plus tax go?
