We just removed a true tyrant from power. You offend me when you compare our government to that one.
Now, when it comes to taxes, I have great sympathy with your observations. But our tax system is not the problem. We are all guaranteed "No taxation without representation." If you don't like the tax codes, work to elect people who will change them!
As to your other points regarding public schools and social welfare, you are just showing yourself to be a fringist. Ask yourself the same questions, in the negative (i.e. "Is it unconstitutional to start a public school" etc.). You will find the Constitution is silent on these matters, so the rights are reserved to the States and the People.
Again, if you read Title Code 26, you will find that our own government doesn't play by it's own rule book. This is a "rogue" Government. Because the people do not or will not stand up for what is right, the government will continue to run rampant.

We have "checks and Balances" do we not, it is this same government that kept him in there even after a Impeachment! ever wondered why? Fear of reprisals!

Tell me why are we sending your hard earned dollars to other countries? Tell me why there had to be welfare reforms passed by the Federal legislation? Tell me why Public schools are being funded by Federal Dollars when it's a "State" reserved right? Where ever Federal money is, it becomes a Federal issue, or property. If The constitution is silent on these issues, why is the federal government "assuming" these powers when the Constitution states that where the Constitution is silent the States do assume those rights? You see, we are in a tyranical governing power, the Federal government is becoming the "absolute power".
What is "tyranny"? If you look up the definitions you will see a common thread - "absolute power." In the exercise of that absolute power you will also notice other traits: oppressiveness, harshness, severity, cruelty, restrictiveness.
You are kidding right...Ruby Ridge, Waco, Oklahoma City, Elian Gonzales, sure, I mentioned items under the last administration, but who let these things happen? CHECKS AND BALANCES my friend, you are only looking at 1 of 3
