Balanced Budget Amendment.
Getting old watching me type this I suppose. The pain and suffering soon to appear from uncontrolled government is soon to be upon us. We the people MUST control government by limiting spending, and ridding ourselves of a graduated tax system that empowers people to “tax the rich”.
Everyone MUST feel the weight of the government on our backs (financially speaking) or it cannot be controlled. Every war, every donation to transgender reassignment in Pakistan, all of it must be felt by all Americans.
Debt is a system of slavery and it would have been really great if Lincoln and included a Balanced Budget Amendment along with the 13th Amendment. No slaves. Not chattel slavery in the Confederacy, not slavery to a federal government with a crushing debt.
And we should abolish the Income Tax.
The government should survive on tariffs and sales tax. Basically, the amount of money for the government to play with should be much, much smaller than it is. Nowadays, if you want to get rich, you should figure out how to game the system and get in good with cronies in the government. They have all the money in the world.
How it should be — if you want to get rich, stay in the private sector and create real wealth. Ignore the government: they have no money to spare.
