You are correct. With this crowd in congress they could care less.
2010 elections would be the only way to stop this drift, but most of the damage will have already been done.
Even if a conservative were to be elected in 2012 and have a conservative congress, the Health Care, Cap & Tax, and other major legislation will not and can not be reversed.
There is nothing we can do, other than vote and be active ... unless the states begin a legislative revolt against the feds.
Begin with state laws requiring employers to pay any tax with-holdings to the state and not directly to the IRS. That way the states would payout a lump sum to the Feds and then can withhold the payments if necessary.
Same for any federal fuel taxes paid by retailers, wholesalers, and distributors. So to for any other indirect Federal taxes/fees that the states are required to collect for the feds.
The feds need to be the bottom rung on the revenue ladder.
See Post 48. It should be the FIRST one passed.
