"Black People FUME Over Trump CUTTING Section 8 Housing And Rent Subsidy For People REFUSING TO WORK!"
The writings of Justice Joseph Story and Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, show that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to tax and spend for taking care of the poor, a state power issue.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people [emphasis added]."
"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.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with [all emphases added] the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states." —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.
The fact that such unconstitutional, vote-buying federal spending exists is a glaring example of corrupt Congress's ongoing abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes). "Federal" taxpayer dollars for the poor should never have left the states in the first place imo.
The 16th Amendment is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for organized crime and desperately needs to be repealed along with the 17th Amendment, popular voting for federal senators imo.
We'll call the repeal amendment Trump's Boston Tea Party II Amendment.
Republican Nixon made the expansion of alphabet agencies possible with “revenue sharing”. Prior to Nixon states could not print money. They had to borrow and raise taxes. The voters would limit that.
So Nixon enabled states (and local government) to use federal printed money/federal borrowed money to expand. Now if a state or local government passes on federal money they ae accused of mismanagement.
