Uniformity Clause

Read a random definition: Lammas

A quick definition of Uniformity Clause:

The Uniformity Clause is a rule in the U.S. Constitution that says federal taxes must be collected in the same way from everyone. This means that everyone pays their fair share of taxes, no matter where they live or how much money they make.

A more thorough explanation:

The Uniformity Clause is a provision in the United States Constitution that requires the federal government to collect taxes in a uniform manner. This clause is found in Article I, Section 8, Clause 1 of the Constitution.

What this means is that the federal government cannot impose different tax rates or rules on different states or regions. For example, if the federal government imposes a tax on income, it must apply the same tax rate to all individuals regardless of where they live.

One example of the Uniformity Clause in action is the federal income tax. The federal government collects income tax from all individuals and businesses in the same way, regardless of where they live or operate. This ensures that everyone is treated equally under the law.

Another example is the federal excise tax on gasoline. The tax rate is the same across all states, ensuring that drivers pay the same amount of tax per gallon of gasoline regardless of where they fill up their tanks.

The Uniformity Clause is an important part of the Constitution that helps to ensure fairness and equality in the collection of federal taxes.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
