Most of it is not federal issues and we do not need anther Lyndon Johnson telling us HIS federal government will “solve” problems that rightly belong handled by the states; which is entirely how the “deep state” has gotten so big and powerful - you give than an inch and theiy’ll take a mile.
He pretty clearly said work with the states. I don’t see it as bad. America will be great again whe you don’t have to walk through human feces in what were incredible cities of the past
I agree 100%.
Patriots need to get ill-advised Trump up to speed on unconstitutional federal taxes so that he can put a stop to such taxes, ultimately leading the states to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments to put a permanent stop to such taxes.
"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.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government [emphases added]. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
Democrats Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
The states need to eliminate the unconstitutional middleman, the unconstitutionally big federal government, from "helping" the states to manage their revenues.
Once unconstitutional federal taxes are stopped, then the states will ultimately find new revenues to deal with their elite Democratic and RINO-manufacturd problems instead of regularly having to beg for vote-buying "federal" funding that is arguably stolen state revenues anyway.
In fact, Justice Louis Brandeis had introduced his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to emphasize the 10th Amendment powers of the states to serve the people.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
In the meanwhile, when Trump-47 finishes draining the swamp by working with the states to surrender state powers that the feds have been stealing from the states back to the states and cleaning up the judiciary, he can spend the rest of his 2nd term on golf course, appropriately symbolic for a peacetime president of the constitutionally limited power federal government imo.
