Report: Hillary Clinton would hike taxes by $1.3 trillion
From a related thread, and in stark contrast to Hillary’s institutionally indoctrinated, state sovereignty-ignoring ideas about the federal budget, consider the following explanation of how the Founding States had probably envisioned the annual federal budget.
$765,645,000,000: FY2016 Taxes Set Record Through December; $5,107 Per Worker; Feds Still Run…
Four times the amount shown in thread title above is over three trillion dollars. And this is a major constitutional problem, imo, as indicated by the following material.
Note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from appropriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers. This is evidenced by the following excerpt.
”Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” - Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Based on the Court’s statement above, here is a rough approximation of how much taxpayers should be paying Congress annually to perform its Section 8-limited power duties.
Given that the plurality of clauses in Section 8 deal with defense, and given that the Department of Defense budget for 2015 was $500+ billion, I will generously round up the $500+ billion figure to $1 trillion (but probably much less) as the annual price tag of the federal government to the taxpayers, not the $5 trillion annual budget now being projected for the feds.
In other words, the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx Noise, should not be reporting multi-trillion dollar annual federal budgets in budget discussions without mentioning the Supreme Court’s clarification of Congress’s limited power to appropriate taxes.
Trump supporters need to get him up to speed on the idea that a good percentage of the federal taxes that he and his rich friends have been paying throughout their lives are probably unconstitutional.
Trump and his rich friends also need to wake up to the idea that corrupt lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes that they took for putting loopholes for the rich into appropriations bills, the rich probably clueless that most of those bills are based on powers that the states states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to make — stolen 10th Amendment-protected state powers.
Remember in November !
Patriots need to suppoort the Trump / Pence ticket by also electing a new, state sovereignty-respecting Congress that will not only work within its Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everybody, but will also put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes and likewise unconstitutional interference in state affairs.
Also, consider that such a Congress would probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.
the market loves uniparty govt, dow could be at 20k soon with the huge stimulus /massive porkulus spending coming down the pike
