The Preamble is more important for Americans than the Constitution. Why? Because the Preamble tells us the reason for the Constitution. Why is that important? Because all government flows out of the Constitution, and if the government doesn't fulfill the Preamble, that part of government that doesn't fulfill it is null and void.
The Preamble from Cornell University Law School at

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
If a government agent authorizes anything that harms you, like income taxes (stealing your property), sue him personally as the 7th Amendment allows. From
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights#Seventh_Amendment:
Seventh AmendmentMain article:
Seventh Amendment to the United States Constitution In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, and no fact tried by a jury, shall be otherwise re-examined in any court of the United States, than according to the rules of the common law.
The Seventh Amendment guarantees jury trials in federal civil cases that deal with claims of more than twenty dollars. It also prohibits judges from overruling findings of fact by juries in federal civil trials. In Colgrove v. Battin (1973), the Court ruled that the amendment's requirements could be fulfilled by a jury with a minimum of six members. The Seventh is one of the few parts of the Bill of Rights not to be incorporated (applied to the states).
Note that judges can't overrule juries. In addition, the jury verdict can't be appealed.
