As a consequence of the parents of the Board of Directors of Coca-Cola probably not making sure that their children where taught the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood, including Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes, Coca-Cola’s directors probably cannot argue the following single statement by the Supreme Court in their defense to lessen their tax burden.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
