The constitution died with universal suffrage, popular election of federal senators, and the income tax.

Every other governmental pathology since then is nothing more than a logical progression.

Actually, all those things came from the redefinition of "person" in the 14th Amendment, and its universal, unadmitted application by the judiciary. And Scalia was well aware of it, and never brought it to light.

BINGO!

As for the income tax, that was established over 50 yrs before the 16th Amendment was ratified. It is the misapplication of the 100% constitutional income “excise” tax that is the problem. Yes, you read that right, it is an “excise” tax, NOT a “direct” tax. The SCOTUS ruled it to be an "excise" tax and that ruling, to this day, has never been overturned.

Therefore, American business owners and employees need to learn what an “excise” tax is and then only withhold tax from activity that is taxable under Article 1 of the US Constitution. 10’s of thousands do each year, so why so few? Why pay a tax on that which is not taxable?
