If the Founders could have anticipated the kind of wealth the industrial age would foster, and the kind of devious maneuvering and manipulation of that wealth which eventually could jeopardize the very survival of the Nation as the Constitution intends it to be, you may rest assured they would have included safeguards in the Constitution to prevent the rise of a greed-based, monied aristocracy and the dangerous accumulation of excessive wealth such as we are seeing now.They really never intended taxation to be used as a tool of expropriation and redistribution.That..and the founders never intended private industry to lead to an neo-aristocracy.
