                    [Summary] => 

The power of the state to tax is the power to destroy. These are threatening words of the US Supreme Court, in the case of Mc Culloch vs. Maryland, which our own  Highest Court likes to quote whenever certain taxpayer have the courage to question the State's authority to impose tax burdens on the people. In fact, in one case, (Churchill vs. Concepcion, 34 Phil 969 ), the High Tribunal declared that the power to impose taxes is one that is so unlimited, in force and so searching in extent, that courts scarcely venture to declare that it is subject to any restrictions, except those that rest in the discretion of the authority which exercises it.
