We need to amend the Constitution to ban the federal government from doing anything other than providing for the national defense.

You are very close, but the Feds do need to provide homeland security (actually a part of national defense).
I don’t have a problem with the Feds having national parks or regulating our nuclear industry. Even basic consumer protection like the FDA or protecting our privacy.

We don’t need the Feds to
1)subsidize farmers
2)subsidize businesses
3)manage health care
4)collect taxes, pass the FairTax and allow the states to collect and pass on necessary revenues to the Feds.
5)protect bugs or lizards from extinction
6)micromanage (actually manage) education at all
7)Build highways, let the states do it

While a anti constitutional, anti American and Marxist idea this could be a political winner. The vast majority of voters make less than $60k and a lot of them will see this is a gift to them from the evil rich by way of the govt. In fact this may even increase voter turn-out, vote for Hillary and get $1000 in your account soon after.

We are quickly reaching the point where over 50% of the population will essentially vote themselves goodies and at that point the entitlement redistribution mentality is here for good. Just look at Canada and Western Europe, there is no conservative movement just for this reason.

One more reason to defeat Hillary.
