And now that you've changed your tune, do you think that the government has the authority to treat people differently based on income? Where will I find that in the Constitution? How does that comport with 'equal before the law' as you've indicated was meant by the phrase 'created equal" in the DOI? Can the government impose different prison terms to different individuals under the exact same circumstances - based on income? Can the government decide that people who earn less than $100,000 a year are irreponsible and cannot own guns, buy liquor, or gett a jury trial? If government can treat people differently based on their income, then that same principle can apply to any governmental action or law. Should we assess postal rates based on income too? Amtrak tickets? Oh my. We are deep into the unequal treatment cave now.
