Godfather Politics – Gary DeMar – 6/30/2012

The phrase “the power to tax is the power to destroy” came out of that decision. It was used by Daniel Webster (1782-1852), who in arguing the case said, “An unlimited power to tax involves, necessarily, a power to destroy.” (17 U.S. 327 [1819]). In his decision, Chief Justice Marshall wrote: “That the power of taxing it [the bank] by the States may be exercised so as to destroy it, is too obvious to be denied” (p. 427), and “That the power to tax involves the power to destroy … [is] not to be denied” (p. 431).

Governments are all about power and money. People with power want money, and people with money want power. Almost every political decision that has ever been made can often be reduced to (1) who benefits monetarily and (2) who benefits with more power and authority over other people. That’s why our founders tried to limit the power and taxing authority of the national government with a Constitution.
