..."please show me where there is anything about how much money you can make? or keep? or even spend?"....for starters, take a look at the tax laws....they certainly restrict you from spending whatever you earn. Then look at the current sitting President....how many times has he stated he believes the government shouldn't take more than 1/3 (33% is the figure he quotes) of your income!!! This has to mean the Fedgov because he has no control over the states.

Okay, take a deep breath....you have taken my statement out of context....
I was discussing the Federal Patriot Act... you are talking Income Tax...IRS Code....apples and oranges.
