All good intentions... till the 17th Amendment is repealed the construct for a massive federal government will remain... The 17th Amendment is the framework for what we have now...a large non-functional central government run by the Uni-party.
The 16th Amendment fuels its growth from the hard work of the “little guy” taxpayer.
Till either both or one of those Amendments are repealed... we, as a country live in a failing democracy, not a Republic... democracies never end well per history.
How about repealing every amendment that includes the words, "Congress shall have power to..."
Congress had enough power to start with.
