Further still, if we followed the Constitution, FedGov would cost about 20% of what it does now and the whole issue would be moot.
Taxation, at the federal level, anyway, is simple.

Taxation is justified for a certain amount of defense, and possibly interstate infrastructure, because it actually pays for itself by providing a more stable and efficient economy.

Anything else is detrimental, and can't be justified.

At the state and local level, similar principles apply, but if a certain locality wishes to tax and provide services, it's no skin off my back. I can move.

But I can't easily move out of the United States. And I don't want to. So these blanket taxes and programs at the federal level hold everybody hostage.
