The Constitution actually defines what it considers to be the "general welfare" for which Congress is allowed to provide. Sadly, so many Americans have been educated by leftist teaching drones that they don't have the reading comprehension to grasp that the law doesn't lay down a list of specific jobs only to then say, "Or, you know, whatever you feel like doing".
Why should the poor be expected to pay taxes? They're poor! If they are working poor they still pay all taxes (i.e. income tax, etc.) cept payroll tax.
And they get it all back from the federal government and their respective state governments.
The people riding in the boat should have to pay something for their trip.
It's high time those who benefit the most from the largess of government are required to contribute. This could be done through a fair or flat tax.
No, they do not get it all back. Nice try, but no cigar!
