And once patriots work with Trump to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that corrupt Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, the states will probably find a tsunami of new revenues that they won’t know what to do with.
“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.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
But I read the other day that the 17th Amendment is good because it keeps wealthy individuals from buying Senate seats. Instead, we get to voluntarily elect poor but honest public servants like John Kerry and Dianne Feinstein. :)
