I was just checking out how this hornets nest got created. I remember , from public school, the evil Robber Barons of the Railroads. (At least this is how they were depicted). That was the propaganda load used to pass a "Commerce Act" that first allowed nameless faceless bureaucrats to rule over us.The Supreme court ruled in favor of the railroads 15 out of 16 times.The important thing is that the Statists got the camels nose under the tent. The next phase of the cancer was a way to feed it. That is what the 16th amendment did. The 17th made sure the States would have much less power to stop it.
Great minds think alike.....and I’ve long said the biggest “cancer” (yes, the term I used - sometimes I say malignancy) threatening us is the bureau - where the unnamed, unaccountable, unknown cubicle dwellers that we pay for destroy us cut by cut.
