And #2, is a "head tax" or tax based on "enumeration" that is mentioned in the Constitution, and, IMHO, the worst form of taxation ever devised.

Please explain why you have that opinion.

Folks in East Baltimore would be responsible for the same amount per family head as in Martha's Vineyard.

So what? Why is that a problem?

Everyone should receive the same exact sevices (defence of our rights) and pay the exact amount as everyone else. What precisely makes that "the worst" form of taxation ever devised.

BTW, thanks a ton for explaining to me the effects of the graduated tax, I never could figure that out. < /sarcasm>

TJ, If there was any chance of that, I might go along with you. But, folks with money are able to use many of governments "services" that many of the poorer folks only dream about. Ranging from interstate highways, railways, stadia of all sorts, museums, orchestras, race tracks, airports, parks, recreation, and other and assorted "things" that the wealthy even ask the government to provide. Actually, we are both dreamers. Peace and love, George.
