To bring the above analogy around, so it can be tied into the constitution....
Liberty says my time is my time. Sure, I need to do my part in maintaining the country, but once that time is fulfilled, I am to do with my time what I wish, as long as I don't step on other peoples rights.
If everyone was contributing 200 hours a year to the country, and we all sat down and voted on something that was going to take 10 hours per person more to fund, it's unconstitutional for a leader to say "well, let's see... you people, yea you over there. You contribute 20 more hours for 220 a year, and umm... you guys over there, you just stick to your 200".
That's taking an extra 10 hours of someones time, so you don't have to take 10 from someone else. Those 10 ours are mine. The right to Liberty give me that right. But someone in office chose to take if from me, and require me to work someone else's hours.
How can you think that's right?
