"An unlimited power to tax involves necessarily, a power to destroy. Because there is a limit beyond which no institution and no property can bear taxation."
-Justice John Marshall, in McCullough vs. Maryland
It seems when Dirty Harry said 'Man's got to know his limitations', he was just requoting Marshall to a degree..... except with a big-ass .45 in his hand. Thanks to the Patriot Post.
