The original constitution did not allow for an income tax either. But as long as we are now paying income tax, some of us expect certain services for our money. 
If the government is only going to provide security, then they can do so without collecting income tax, just as they did way back then. The income tax was added in 1913 (when the 16th ammendment was ratified) to allow the government to provide services to the people in a collective way. |
You have taxation with representation...use it. I'd love to know how you maintain a military with out funds....amazing capability.
So you admit the government in no way was formed to protect the day to day piece of mind of its citizens aside from their security. Thanks for the agreement.
