Uniformity Clause

Read a random definition: relocatio

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.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
