Getting a little tired of POTUS leading from behind here on issue after issue relating to Congress. He seems unwilling to launch total war on the swamp just yet.
"Getting a little tired of POTUS leading from behind here on issue after issue relating to Congress. He seems unwilling to launch total war on the swamp just yet."
Noting that I gladly voted for Pres. Trump and do not regret doing so, please consider the following.
What Pres. Trump, and probably many patriots, evidently didn’t understand when Trump was campaigning is that the Oval Office is constitutionally “married” to Congress. So it’s no surprise that probably many patriots are bummed out with the “slow” progress that Trump is making as he struggles to step around in “thick swamp mud" as a consequence of a very corrupt, Trump-hating Congress left over form the lawless Obama Administration.
In other words, it’s solely up to us patriots to finish the job that we started by electing Trump president in 2016 by doing the following.
Patriots need to make sure that there are plenty of state sovereignty-respecting, Trump-supporting patriot candidates on the 2018 primary ballots, and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to D.C. on election day.
The Trump Administration that patriots envisioned in 2016 will hopefully go into full gear in 2019, Trump’s first two years in office arguably for practice.
Regarding taxes, a 1040EZ that is compliant with Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, that all taxpayers can use, is a step in the right direction.
But the ultimate revision of tax code includes repealing the 16th and ill-conceived 17th Amendments imo.
“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.
"State inspection laws, health laws, and laws for regulating the internal commerce of a State, and those which respect turnpike roads, ferries, &c. are not within the power granted to Congress [emphases added]." —Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
