All governments do this sort of thing. There once was a community that had too many fortune tellers so they likewise put in a special tax. It was the first Excess Prophets Tax.

Is a depart allowed to create a new tax or does that lie only within the congress?

What if the military decided ti create a 50% protection tax?

I don’t see anything constitutional about this.
