Excellent piece.
We have to build the culture we want to live in. We can’t be passive passengers on someone else’s bus.
However, I would add that every major unconstitutional program or its ancestor were challenged to Scotus and found to be constitutional.
Imagine how different our culture and society would be if income taxes were not progressive (therefore flat), if religious freedom was not banned from the public square, if direct transfer payments did not exist, if we did not have a fiat currency, if unelected bureaucrats could not write regulations with the force of law, if abortion were left to the states, if the commerce and general welfare clauses were not twisted into shapes unimaginable by our Framers, if racial preferences did not exist, the list goes on.
My point is that our country was radically transformed these past 70 years by an out of control institution largely beyond the influence of we the people and there isn't a d@amn thing we can do about it.
Indeed. Thanks for the ping!
