Please show me where it states this in the Constitution.
In the Preamble:
Quote:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
Right there along with monopoly oil companies taking from you for their profit. Right there with taking your taxes to pay for the F-35 Boondoggle project. Next to paying taxes for all the benefits you receive as a citizen.
If you want to avoid paying any taxes you could declare yourself outlaw and pay no taxes what so ever. Of course you would no longer have any access to the Judicial system to redress any grievances you may have against anyone else.
"Justice" under the law does not mean taking from one to give to another.
We ALL have access to "Blessings of Liberty".
The "General Welfare" clause also doesn't mean what "welfare" means today.
[SIZE=3](How General Welfare is interpreted is one of the most controversial in your Constitution. It is found in both the preamble and Article I, section 8. Although I cannot currently remember who said this, but he described general welfare as “a verbal exclamation point” for defending our borders and discharging our debts. Today it is currently interpreted to give the legislative branch an unlimited spending ability. But is this the original intent of General Welfare? Did the Founding Fathers give a blank check to the federal government? Are there any restrictions today on this clause?)
The restrictions are in the enumerated powers.
Why would the Constitution be a blank check book when they clearly set limitations on the spending powers pf The Congress?

National defense is Constitutional.
Providing funds to businesses is not.
Using ANY taxpayer tax revenue to "redistribute" to ANYONE is unconstitutional.
