The Founding Fathers of the Constitution of the United States of America foresaw and understood the problems that occur when powerful interests run rampant, creating monopolies.
Article 1 Section 8 was eventually ruled CONSTITUTIONAL. Federal Income Tax is a "shield" that, at the very least, slows down the creation of monopoly powers, and protects citizens from entities (whether PERSON or CORPORATE) that seek to control prices. Many corporations and the executives who run them have been able to squirm out of paying Income Tax.
This is the source of our problem. We need a new Ethical standard for the American businessman: this ethical standard has to do with how much he pays his lowest-rung worker. Even the lady who comes and polishes the floor in the building he walks down.
