==72:7. TAXATION==

72:7.1 The [[federal]] [[government]] is paternalistic only in the [[administration]] of old-age [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pension pensions] and in the fostering of [[genius]] and [[creative]] [[originality]]; the state [[governments]] are slightly more concerned with the [[individual]] [[citizen]], while the local governments are much more paternalistic or [[socialistic]]. The [[city]] (or some subdivision thereof) concerns itself with such matters as [[health]], [[sanitation]], building regulations, beautification, [[water]] supply, lighting, [[heating]], [[recreation]], [[music]], and [[communication]].

72:7.2 In all [[industry]] first [[attention]] is paid to [[health]]; certain phases of [[physical]] well-being are regarded as [[industrial]] and [[community]] [[prerogatives]], but [[individual]] and [[family]] [[health]] [[problems]] are matters of [[personal]] concern only. In [[medicine]], as in all other [[purely]] [[personal]] matters, it is increasingly the [[plan]] of [[government]] to refrain from interfering.

72:7.6 There is little or no [[uniformity]] among the [[taxation]] [[schemes]] of the one hundred comparatively [[free]] and [[sovereign]] states as [[economic]] and other conditions vary greatly in [[different]] sections of the [[continent]]. Every state has ten basic [[constitutional]] provisions which cannot be [[modified]] except by consent of the [[federal]] supreme [[court]], and one of these articles prevents levying a [[tax]] of more than one per cent on the [[value]] of any property in any one year, homesites, whether in [[city]] or country, being exempted.

72:7.7 The [[federal]] [[government]] cannot go in [[debt]], and a three-fourths [[referendum]] is required before any state can borrow except for [[purposes]] of [[war]]. Since the [[federal]] [[government]] cannot incur [[debt]], in the event of war the ''National Council of Defense'' is empowered to [[Tax|assess]] the states for [[money]], as well as for [[men]] and [[materials]], as it may be required. But no [[debt]] may run for more than twenty-five years.
