Another thing, The link posted speaks of a “Constitutional Convention”, but the discussion seem to be about taxes. We could pass laws to balance the budget without passing a Constitutional Convention. That is where my fear comes from. In a Convention, there is NO subject off limits. We could just repeal the 16th Amendment and do it some other way without an amendment as we did for a hundred years. A tax law is always tough because we can’t be constrained during times of war. It would be very difficult to write an Amendment to collect taxes ONLY ONE WAY. If we got a flat tax or a sales tax, you can bet the first year there would be a VAT, carbon, energy, or some other form of taxation to get what they want.IMO, a convention for a tax amendment would be a bunch of sound and fury to accomplish very little, and also IMHO, would open up discussion for all sorts of other “good ideas”.
That's hilarious. That is certainly some deep satirical humor there. Thank you for the Chuckle, Chuckles.
