"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.

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.

17th Amendment

Proposed 1912;Ratified 1913

1. The Senate of the United States shall be composed of two Senators from each State, elected by the people thereof, for six years; and each Senator shall have one vote. The electors in each State shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the State legislatures.
