Seems like a Constitutional quandry. I’m not trying to be facetious. The idea doesn’t sit well with me because it doesn’t sound like a union of free and independent states, particularly since the federal government gets tax revenues from the citizens of those states.
Perhaps we should just call these U.S. Citizens federal tenants and drop the pretense. I know I’m being a little dramatic but this federal leviathan no longer even resembles or behaves like the founders intended.
I don't think you are being dramatic at all, most of us are serfs to federal, state and local government. Nothing more than a source of revenue. It fact I'd wager serfs had it better since the King only took 1/3. And with property taxes you never own you land. You are merely a tenant.
