Too bad the feral government is able to directly tax the citizenry. You know taking money to DC just to return (some) of it is going to lead to corruption, graft, and ever more feral government control of everyone’s lives.
It would be much better to repeal the 16th Amendment, keep the money in the states, and have the states keep the feral government on a short financial leach by having the feds funded directly from the states via a single lump sum per annum from each state. And except for those federal functions strictly enumerated in the Constitution, the state payments should be on a discretionary basis, individually per state.
I agree!
