"An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy; because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation." --John Marshall, McCullough v. Maryland, 1819

Then it all goes to Obama, a win win situation in my book.

Win win for Obama; lose lose for everyone that works for a living and actually pays taxes And that's why the nation is in decline. When you tax something you get less of it and when you subsidize something you get more of it.
When you tax people who buy their own food and subsidize people who don't you get more people that don't. when you tax the productive to subsidize the welfare state, you get less productivity and a bigger welfare state, When you tax achievement to reward need, you get less achievement and more need.
That's why we are in decline. It's just a matter of time until we bottom out, if we don't get some kind of changes to our tax system, such as a flat tax with only a personal exemption of around 30K for family and 15 per individual.
