The Tenth AmendmentAll authority or actions NOT EXPRESSEDLY given to the federal government and Congress are UNDER NO UNCERTAIN TERMS left to the state government, local government, and individual citizen. The greatest emphasis on the individual's rights to do with his or her wealth and life what they will. On top of that, the roles of government, down to how much property it can own and control and why, are clearly defined as only what is needed to accomplish the ROLES OF THE GOVERNMENT AS LIMITED BY THE CONSTITUTION. This does not include conservation, welfare, healthcare, housing, or education. in other words, by the limits and shackles placed on the federal government by the constitution, wealth redistribution is rendered unconstitutional. Only one intent on REINTERPRETING the constitution in order to expand government beyond the constitutional limits, and one who ignores EVERY DAMN THING the founders wrote about the constitution and the role of federal government would argue otherwise.
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
The Sixteenth Amendment
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
