So, yes, the consitution makes no mention of Income Tax nor Social Security. But through case law or denial of cases, the Supreme Court has decided that both of 'em are constitutional.
So shut the fuck up.

whats with the hostility?
I have not attended any parties in a long while. Furthermore, I'm a coffee drinker. The only tea I drink is sweet tea, and thats on occasion. Or green tea when I'm sick, in place of coffee.
On a more serious note, I dont associate myself with this tea party movement bullshit. I dont subject myself to the opinions of news sources. I havent even watched the news in 3 years...more or less. So to imply that i'm just another mindless follower of half-informed opinions isnt just irresponsible, it's a juvenile, unprompted personal attack. Just because I think that socialism or rather, the government is responsible to provide for the civilians, shouldnt be present in America, does not mean I'm a tea bagger. Glenn Beck pisses me off just as much as Keith Olberman.
Simply put, I think America should be the land of the free. The freedom to chose how to manage your own money. The freedom to be rich or poor. Healthy or sick. Personally, I hate doctors. I'm sure we can all agree the only field more corrupt than the insurance industry is the pharmaceutical industry. So not only is the already corrupt American government taking over and creating monopolies in equally or more corrupt industries, but they are forcing Americans to support this. If you are rich, you are supporting it through taxes. If you are poor, you will be part of this system.
I was going to set up a couple hypothetical, but likely scenarios. They aren't needed though. Actually, you know what. Fuck this. Fuck you. Fuck everything about this topic. If this is what America is becoming, then I will fight it. I'm not going to be a pussy and say "if ___ does or doesnt happen im moving to canada." That's a cowards approach. I'm an American, and I am unsatisfied with the current state of affairs. It's my patriotic duty to voice my opinion, and fight for it, if need be.
The founding father's fought and died for the belief that the taxes on tea and paper were too high. Tea. And paper.
Commie bastard
