The reason that I even put this essay together in the first place is because I am well aware of a loosely organized pocket of resistance to the MFTP that uses those arguments as the basis of their objections.  However, as you have indirectly pointed out, every last one of those arguments blatantly ignores all common sense, constitutional precedent, and the most rudimentary understanding of tax policy and law.  And I want to thank you, sir, for so solidly reinforcing my core point.
