Look, we all know Obama supporters want their one man one vote part of the Constitution, but run from their one vote one dollar constitutionally mandated obligation. We also know most of Obama supporters want their vote for nothing more than to get free stuff!

HERE IS A TYPICAL OBAMA SUPPORTER yapping about her free Obama phone

The rule of apportionment was intended to prevent this very evil! We need to reclaim Representation with proportional financial obligation and put an end to progressives‘ theft by vote!

The liberty to fail or succeed at one’s own hand is a PROGRESSIVES`S nightmare and not the American Dream

Apportionment only applies to some taxes, the ones that are direct. Indirect taxes are not subject to apportionment. Examples of indirect taxes include excise taxes on liquor, income taxes on wages, tariff on imports, Capital gains tax, fee of 200 dollars on manufacture of a firearm, and, post 16th Amendment, income tax on income from property.

That the indirect taxes are legal per the apportionment clause doesn’t make them right. It just means you need a different argument.
