Nothing is perfect, and I am sure the constitution has some flaws.

Yes, that is what the amendment process is for.  The fact that the Constitution may have it's flaws does not mean we should ignore it entirely, in favor of expansive powers under the Commerce Clause and Necessary and Proper Clause.  This thread just reeks of hackery.


I never argued that it should be ignored, and I am surprised at the amount of feedback i am getting from such a simple question.

Oh yeah, and the Sixteenth, Seventeenth, and Twenty-Second Amendments, among others.

The income tax is constitutional because it has been ruled as a "indirect" tax on income.
