ParticipantThe video shows a picture of Jesus and a Christian cross when it mentions that natural law is based upon God.
That could definitely be misleading. The concept he was trying to get across was that our rights are natural and “given by God.” For atheists, just say “inherent to all people”. This is an important distinction, because many governments “give” rights to people. If they can give them of course, they can take them away as well. Here in the US, our Constitution recognizes that our rights are inherent. They are not given to us by a man or a government; we have them because we are human beings.
Participantdoes the constitution say you cannot have such a tax? It doesn’t mention sales taxes or motor vehicle licensing fees either…
Those are state taxes. Remember the 10th amendment…

ParticipantI’m having a hard time thinking of examples of any Constitutional questions based upon the need to “protect me from things like global warming or evil corporations.”
Okay, how about the coming Carbon tax? I don’t recall the Constitution giving congress the power to levy taxes on breathing or burning fuel. Very soon we will all be paying this tax, which of course won’t do a thing to stop global warming but will simply further enrich those at the very top.
And of course there will be the miracle of government healthcare to protect us all from evil health insurance companies. Never mind that the evil health insurance companies will be the ones administering the system, the government will just be there to force you to purchase their worthless product.

“I fully support the Constitution and I think the government should always obey its rules. Except of course in cases where it needs to break them to protect me from things like terrorism or criminals.”
