Based on the excerpt below, I think that Trump and other rich people would start playing a different tune about federal funding for the states if they understood that a chunk of the federal taxes that they have been paying for years are probably unconstitutional imo.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Trump needs to understand that the individual states could afford to run their own social spending programs without federal government interference if voters were to wake up and put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes.
Exactly. The States should collect what taxes they need to take care of their own business. The federal doesn’t have any business redistributing it and holding it as ransom.
