"Entitlement reform the only solution to ballooning debt."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
The congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had clarified that the Founding States had left the care of the people uniquely to the states, not the feds.
”... the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen, under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Federal Constitution, is in the States, and not in the Federal Government [emphases added].” —Rep. John Bingham, Congressional Globe, 1866. (See about middle of 3rd column.)
In other words, so-called federal entitlements are based on state powers and uniquely associated state revenues that the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress has been stealing from the states for the last 100+ years, particularly since the time of the state sovereignty-ignoring FDR Administration.
"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.
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." —me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." —me
Patriots need to put the republic back on its constitutional foundations by putting a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes by repealing the 16th and 17th Amendments.
17th Amendment had nothing to do w income taxes. But I agree to repealing per original Constitution.
