Hmmm, wouldn't personal wealth be considered private property? And isn't taxation taking that property for public use?JALLEN wrote:Many believe, perhaps old-fashionedly, that taking of private property by the government is permitted only for a public use and upon just compensation
US Constitution, Fifth Amendment...... nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
