To presume you know for a fact the founders would feel the same way about the words they wrote now as they did originally is not only ridiculous but borderline God complex.

You are also right in that we could be coming to an end as a democracy. We were on borrowed time anyway having well exceeded the longest lasting democracy's length of viability. And unbelievably we are going to fail for the same reason... GREED.

"If you really think that... you have no idea how taxes in this country work. EVERYONE, including the illegals pay taxes. They pay .44 cents on every dollar of gasoline they buy, they pay 8% (in TX) of every transaction they make, and they pay probably a hundred other taxes as Sleeve pointed out."
And the top 1% pays 40% of INCOME TAXES... not 40% of ALL TAXES.
