Very interesting case indeed, DriftingByTheStorm! I'm surprised I overlooked this thread before. You seem to be knowledgeable on the subject, so I have a question for you. Perhaps you interpret it differently than me. It seems to me that the constitution of the United States clearly allows taxation. Article I, Section 8, states:

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States."

And the 16th Amendment states:

"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."


Perhaps you can shed some light on this.

Just bumping cause id like to see Drifting By the Storm's response.
