yo mama Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 (edited) That is sad, when you consider the Constitution was to limit the powers of government, and now it is largely ignored. You can't implement a functioning system if those affected by it can circumvent rules of general applicability by simply claiming discrimination. What do you think this is, the EEOC? Seriously though, you're being a tab melodramatic. A new corporate tax is largely unrelated to the founder's desire to limit government's ability to affect our personal freedoms. And corporate taxation has been around forever. Prior to the 16th Amendment it would have been virtually impossible to have a multistate corporate entity the size of those who would be subject to this new tax, due to a patchwork of uncoordinated state tariffs and taxes that existed at the time. Despite its glaring shortcomings, what we have now is far more amenable to big business than what we had when the Constitution was drafted. The good old days weren't *all* good.
