You were not present during the time(s) I posted at losthorizons; but since I was banned from there would you kindly answer here?Weston White wrote:lolol, Alright, this is great! The folks over at Quackloss, have started up a thread in response to this first draft of the webpage. So far 11-posts all of them are nothing but pointless drivel and borderline smack talk, with exception to this one post, (however, this person does not seem to fully grasp the content they were aiming for (and subsequently missed).):
“But if the Constitution is the supreme law of our nation, and the Constitution grants judicial power to the Supreme Court; why is the "argument" directly contrary to the decisions of the Supreme Court that the income tax is NOT a direct tax [?].
See Brushaber v. Union Pacific Railroad, 240 U.S. 1 (1916) :”

Do you not think the Constitution is the supreme law of our nation ?
Do you not think the Constitution grants judicial power to the Supreme Court ?
Do you not think the judicial power of the Supreme Court includes determining what is a "direct tax" as that term is used in the Constitution ?
Do you not think the Supreme Court determined that the income tax is not a "direct tax" as that term is used in the Constitution ?
What have I missed?
Hopefully others posting here can let us have a discussion without name calling, etc....
