The official post office was created in 1792 as the Post Office Department (USPOD). It was based on the Constitutional authority empowering Congress "To establish post offices and post roads". The 1792 law provided for a greatly expanded postal network, and served editors by charging newspapers an extremely low rate. The law guaranteed the sanctity of personal correspondence, and provided the entire country with low-cost access to information on public affairs, while establishing a right to personal privacy.[14]

Lol, yes, the post office is constitutional. 99.9% of other spending, not so much.

"Teh rich" he is whining about already pay the lion's share of the tax load, while freeloaders like him pay nothing. Top 1% of earners pay 37.3% of the tax load, while the bottom 90% pay just 30%. The "rich" already pay far beyond their fair share.

so you agree with the founders and think the wealthy should pay more

Cumberland Road[edit]


Start of the Cumberland National Road marker
Construction of the Cumberland Road (which later became part of the longer National Road) was authorized on March 29, 1806, by President Thomas Jefferson. The new Cumberland Road would replace the wagon and foot paths of the Braddock Road for travel between the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, following roughly the same alignment until just east of Uniontown, Pennsylvania. From there, where the Braddock Road turned north towards Pittsburgh, the new National Road/Cumberland Road continued west to Wheeling, West Virginia (then part of Virginia), also on the Ohio River.
The contract for the construction of the first section was awarded to Henry McKinley on May 8, 1811,[6] and construction began later that year, with the road reaching Wheeling on August 1, 1818. For more than 100 years, a simple granite stone was the only marker of the road's beginning in Cumberland, Maryland. In June 2012, a monument and plaza were built in that town's Riverside Park, next to the historic original starting point.
Beyond the National Road's eastern terminus at Cumberland and toward the Atlantic coast, a series of private toll roads and turnpikes were constructed, connecting the National Road (also known as the Old National Pike) with Baltimore, then the third-largest city in the country, and a major maritime port on Chesapeake Bay. Completed in 1824, these feeder routes formed what is referred to as an eastern extension of the federal National Road.

put them all together and they prove the founders were fine with getting the wealthy to pay for what the country needed
 
warren buffet said he never considered taxes when he invested. A good investment is a good investment. Taxes cuts are just gifts to the wealthy and corporations. Their intent nowadays is to increase the debt to justify killing social security, food stamps and medicare. They never thought they would pay for themselvs. They know better.
