You’re simply not knowledgeable enough about the Bill of Rights and original intent and such in order to make this discussion a pragmatic one.
You’re like a zillion other folks (including judges) that so earnestly want to read their own agenda into the Constitution that they are willing to bastardize the hell out of it.
Go do some studying on this matter and get back to me at a later date.
Don’t think I’m rudely dismissing you. I’m not. I appreciate the time you’ve spent here attempting to advance your views.[/quote]
Way to address the points. So it is constitutional for the fed to levy taxes on sin. wow. I’m convinced.

Well, I’ll be your huckleberry . . .
What viewpoint shall we discuss this issue of constitutionality?
I do believe that congress has the right to levy taxes per the . .uh . . constitution
Article 1, Section 8 of the US Constitution, which states:
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States”
So what was your actual question?

that does not mean they they can tax whatever way they want in violation of other limits on their power.
Taxes are a form of regulation. I contend that vice taxes are a regulation religious practice and violate the 1st amendment. What aren’t you getting?
