Except that they don't. So were the founders tyrants? Per you, they were certainly thieves. And when the 'tax protesting' rebels of the Whiskey Rebellion took up arms.....the founders took them down. As they did Shays and his ilk.
So....were the founders Tyrants? If you can't even say it, you're certainly not going to fight against it.
Comrade, that stamp tax on liquor, was it a direct tax?
Were direct taxes illegal under the constitution?
Direct taxation is legal ONLY during emergencies.
Says who?
Show me such a restriction in the Constitution. Because I'm reasonably certain you just pulled that restriction sideways out of your ass. And that's not how the standards of 'legal' are defined.
