WE HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO BE TAXED: "[N]owhere does the Constitution grant us the right not to be taxed. Nor does it grant us the right to harm others with impunity. No one is permitted to steal our cars or vandalize our homes.... Taxes on harmful activities would be justified quite apart from any need to balance government budgets.”

Therefore, the Constitution must infer an obligation to be taxed? Uh, huh, for “harmful activities”.

English translation: taxes on the bad things you do are good; taxes on the good things I do are bad.

The New York Times editorial is nuts.
