Racing Past the Constitution

[Rudy]

This article gives one more example of how many levels of government are ignoring the Constitution. It also shows how in many cases, taxes are just taking money from one person, and redistributing it to another.

Rampant redistribution of wealth by government is now the norm. So is this: It inflames government's natural rapaciousness and subverts the rule of law. George Will

The Fifth Amendment says private property shall not "be taken for public use without just compensation"
Some courts do not consider money to be property.
