THE UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION
Article. I.
Section. 8.
Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States
Clause 18: To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.
By my count, the right to tax was imposed by the Constitution.
Digressing, why don't we have a FIXED TAX RATE, instead of the current graduated?
Why shouldthe Rich pay more, percentage wise than the poor?
Shouldn't we all pay the same %?
