Tax Corporations and ot the People

[Keith Broaders]

Abolishing the personal income tax in favor of a corporate income tax is an idea that has come. The Federal Income tax is a direct unapprtioned tax that violates the Constituotion.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the U.S. Constitution (the Taxing and Spending Clause) grants Congress broad authority to "lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts, and Excises" to pay debts, provide for the common defense, and ensure the general welfare, with limitations on direct taxes and exports. 

radical tax restructuring proposal designed to eliminate the "double taxation" of corporate profits, encourage investment, and shift the tax burden from individuals to business entities. While proponents argue this boosts economic growth and simplifies tax filing for individuals, opponents contend it would create massive revenue losses, drastically increase inequality, and encourage corporations to shift profits offshore to avoid taxes. 

IItt  is incinstitutuinal for the Federal Government to tax the inocme od indicuduals, In the Constitution the states gaves the National government the autghoruty to lay and collect taxes to pay the depts, provide for thecommon defense and toe provide for the general welfare. The states voluntarity agrred to pay taxes to fund the national government , it did not central government to authority to directly tax the residents of their states.

Each of the states were expected to pay the taxes needed  based on thjeir population. A state with the twice yhe population would be required to pay twice as much in taxes

The current Federal Income Tax is an unconstitutional direct tax that violates the property rights of individuals, 

Taxing the productive  labor of individuals robs them of the incentive to b moree productive. On the other-hand, tcharging corporations for the privilege of doing businessin the United States is a Constitutionally legitimate methof of collecting to fund the government.

Federal income taxes do not need to be apportioned among the states based on population. While the original Constitution required "direct taxes" to be apportioned, the 16th Amendment (1913) expressly authorized Congress to lay and collect taxes on incomes "without apportionment among the several States".
