No one should feel they have the right to confiscate anyone's income. The Socialists/Progressives are simply misguided and wrong. You don't have the right to steal from fellow Citizens just because you're a miserable loser. Their whole philosophy is just so warped. I think more & more people are catching onto the Socialist/Progressive lunacy though. Their days are numbered.
Precisely. The Founders dared not to tax income directly. They rather taxed Commerce to pay for government functions that were Constitutionally mandated.
So why not promote Commerce? It was in the best interest of the citizens and Government. Somewhere along the line? Certain elements got greedy for money and Control.
This is the fight the people face against their own Government in the name of Real Liberty.
The founding fathers and for about the next ten generations policies were written that promoted industry, not commerce.
How did they do that?
By erecting high tariffs to promote INDUSTRY in AMERICA, mostly. And those tariffs were the primary source of revenue for the FEDERAL government, too.
So, if you're one of those who wants to go back to doing what the founding fathers did, then you have to be opposed to FREE TRADE as currently practiced.
