Isn't with holding tax refunds somehow unconstitutional?

Withholding refunds is the same as adding a tax. If the state can just decide on a whim that they can hold any cash they want; isn't that called a dictatorship? Or better yet, isn't the idea that government is somehow holding cash that they assume belongs to them and not the citizens called socialism?

Update:

Pogo-

They have it, it is just going to welfare and other failing social programs. Maybe if the they expect corporations to limit pay, government officials should forfiet their pay to cover their mistakes.

    Many people will argue that the entire income tax is unConstitutional. There's a lot of that type of thing going on and its just getting worse. Our rights are being taken away from us, and most people are too busy or disbelieving to notice or care.

    Just another example of that which the government gives you, they can also take away. Give them power over your life and they can really screw it up.

    If you didn't have the money to pay them what would happen to you.

    They are not withholding it to keep it, they are withholding it because they don't have it. They can't give you something they don't have. They are broke.
