Everybody pays two dollars. It does not take into account how much or how little you earn, how much or how little you have, etc. It is completely fair and equable. An apportioned tax must be repealed within two years of its enactment. The other type of tax is an indirect tax.
Indirect taxes are taxes on a particular activity or taxes levied at the point of purchase.
If you do not want to pay the tax, don't engage in the taxed activity or don't purchase the taxed item. Lawfully avoiding indirect taxes is easy. America was established so that a Citizen need not ever pay any tax, unless he wished to do so. It is an indirect tax, levied because you have voluntarily used government services, and also because your property has been classified as a commercial piece of property. There is no law requiring a real property owner to record his property with the County Recorder.
