It is the largest criminal fraud in history courtesy of the largest criminal organization in history, which is the Democrat Party.
Meanwhile we have a parade of rats getting front of the cameras in DC getting network coverage crying about the horror cutting off their gravy train.

The post-17th Amendment ratification (17A; popular voting for federal senators) Congress's abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (16A; direct taxes) is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime.
More specifically, post-16&17A politicians eventually discovered that they could promise voters, who have probably never really studied the federal government's constitutionally limited powers, every unconstitutional federal social spending program under the sun to try to get themselves elected. Low-information voters ultimately took the federal “freebies” bait and elected them, and then reelected them, unthinkingly filling Congress with Constitution-ignoring career lawmakers over time by doing so.
Once elected, compromised lawmakers would then abuse their 16A powers simply by establishing the constitutionally indefensible federal social spending programs that they had promised to low-information voters on the campaign trail.
Since PDJT47 is open to amending the Constitution, he needs to destroy the very corrupt, tax-hungry Democratic and RINO political party taxing and spending machine by leading the states to put a stop to unconstitutional taxes by repealing 16&17A, effectively seceding ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government by doing so.
Let's call the repeal amendment the Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
The fat lady sings.
PDJT47 will then have a constitutionally limited peacetime power federal government which will allow him to spend more time on the golf courses as he finishes his second term.
But until 16&17A are gone, political party abuse of 16A, which is also weakening our 4th Amendment protections imo, will continue to be the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime imo.
If Trump doesn't lead the states to get rid of these misguided amendments, then it wouldn't be surprising to see Kamala Harris in the Oval Office in a generation imo.
"16th Amendment: The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived [emphasis added], without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration."
"4th Amendment: The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
"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).
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as follows.
”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)
"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.
“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)

Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims (7.11.24)

Funny how Republicans always funded it and have thousands of family members and friends working for “grant” recipients just like the dems.
For maybe two decades, I’ve seen the reports of border crossers from all over the globe, and always wondered “if they’re so poor, how did they get across the ocean?”. And then I started hearing about how they were getting flown in to Central America. And then I started wondering “who’s paying for all this, Soros?, churches?”. And now I find out that, ultimately, WE’VE been paying for it! Torches and pitchforks don’t come close to what’s deserved!
