A progressive tax is uniform.
.
How that tax equality working out? Then the rich should be taxed at the same rate as everyone else. No one can find the "tax the wealthy" shit in the constitution as it doesn't exist.
We didn't have personal income taxes the government was supposed to run on tariffs etc.

You’re a fucktard. It doesn’t say seize and redistribute wealth. Idiot. The “uniform” part is what makes your favorite wack jobs proposal to tax wealth unconstitutional.

Thanks for proving me right, dumbshit.
The term general welfare in 1789 didn't mean providing free sh*t to state residents. That was the state's choice. General welfare related to welfare of the US as a country, like roads, mail etc. The Constitution provides explicit examples of what the limited powers of the federal government consist of. But leftards have no interest in a written document limiting the power of the state.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 1: The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;

With a progressive tax everyone is subject to the exact same tax rates. I would pay the same percentage for income over a million that Elon Musk would pay. And he would pay the same percentage on the first $50,000 that I would pay. It is the same, in all cases, the definition of uniform.
The real problem with your argument is the logic of it suggests that a flat tax would also be unconstitutional. Because if the tax rate is 10% and I make $10 and you make $100 then you’re paying more. You’d make more and you’d pay more which you are currently defining as not uniform.
So if a flat tax is unconstitutional and a progressive tax in unconstitutional, kinda makes you wonder why they bothered to make taxes constitutional. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you’re just wrong.
Sounds like you have everything you need to pass further taxation. Go for it.
