The legislative branch (Congress) makes all tax laws and also controls the government budget.

ANSWER: Taxation is not a right it is a privilege granted Congress by the people in order to allow the slow and burdensome machinery of government to grind it's way towards a more perfect union. The Constitution of the United States places strict rules on how Congress can tax but it is widely accepted that Congress can tax whatever is taxable. What is taxable? Aye, but there's the rub!
