To: Repeal The 17th

The only way that fix this is to repeal #16 and 17. Put the states back in charge. They must have veto power over the Feds.

Totally agree. But that will never happen. Once people like those currently in Washington get power, they will never, ever allow anything to take it away from them.

Yes, repeal the 16th and 17th and then limit the House authority to raising taxes via represenative apportionment. In other words, each Senator and each Representative has an assigned “tax cost”. That cost is then passed on to each state. States with more representatives will have higher bills. The states can then figure out how to raise the taxes to pay for their portions.
