I don't know about you, but we pay outrageous taxes....
Spending for illegitimate ends where there is no delegated power for that spending is not lawful.
Taxing to fund illegitimate expenditures is not lawful.
But taxing is not in and of itself illegitimate.
That said we aren’t taxing to spend these hundreds of billions ... we are borrowing, printing money. The value for this money is being stolen from us right out of the value in the dollars we already have.
