Vattel on Taxes
From Each According to His Abilities . . .§ 240. Taxes.
"If the income of the public property, or of the domain, is not sufficient for the public wants, the state supplies the deficiency by taxes. These ought to be regulated in such a manner, that the citizens may pay their quota in proportion to their abilities, and the advantages they reap from society. . . ." Vattel, The Law of Nations or the Principles of Natural Law, Book 1, Chapter 20, § 240

Isn’t that what happens?? Is there a point here, other than to desperately try to smear Vattel?? Next, I guess you’ll start smearing all the SCOTUS justices who have quoted Vattel in their decisions. Good luck with that.
