Socialist philosophy on taxes

In the Constitution, Federal taxes are for services performed for the general welfare such as the military. The taxes are levied on the States and apportioned by the amount of representation the State has in the Federal Government.

In Socialist philosophy taxes are for equalizing wealth and power and are apportioned based on the amount of profit a business makes or the amount of income an individual earns. 

Profit is looked upon as taking advantage of the consumer and an unfair taking of wealth.

It's not fair to be rich while others are poor.  It's not fair to be powerful while others are weak.   Hence they tax profit and minimize success. 

Our tax system is purely socialist.   In fact the terminology used when an entity is tax-exempt is a non-profit.
