IL....can you explain Ron Paul's position that the income tax is unconstitutional?
Perhaps before the 16th amendment was proposed by Congress in 1909 and ratified by the states in 1913:
Quote:
|
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.

His rhetoric on taxes and spending may be popular with some (2% of Repubs in latest polls), but it has no basis in Constitutional law (despite dk's "whatever...I'm right" argument).
Characterizing those who dont support him as`"morons/people who care more about lining their own pockets with money instead of the general welfare of the public" still doesnt explain how we would govern based on his position of opposing nearly all spending.
