The Founders didn’t want an income tax or a national bank.

They also didn’t want slavery to end or women to vote. Unfortunately they put in place a process where you can change the Constitution, and we have those pesky Amendments now, right?

I mean, we not only recognized the right to citizenship to anyone born on these shores, not only recognized the right of women to vote, not only ended slavery by recognizing every man’s inherent freedom, not only recognized the right of Government to tax income, but also recognized our rights to keep our mouths shut when dealing with the Government, to speak up when we want, not house soldiers, and to carry guns!

Yeah, without all those terrible changes to the Constitution we’d be a lot better off...
