The income tax is evil. Yet I see "conservatives" defend it over tariffs all the time. Much brainwashing going on.
The founders knew what they were doing.
Yes, they did. And they didn't authorize Social Security, or Medicare, or Medicaid, or 0bamacare, or SNAP, TANF, SSDI, WIC, agricultural subsidies, EPA, OSHA, BLM, foreign aid, ...
You keep missing the point. We're in debt because "WE" SPEND TOO MUCH!
You think that's scoffing at THE FOUNDERS??? Are you nuts? I'm scoffing (if that's the right word) at Franklin Roosevelt, Lyndon Johnson, and Barack 0bama (in particular) and at every politician or voter of any party that ever supported their bloated, expensive, failed, socialist big government policies.
Now it has come to a head.
If Hildebeeste is elected, the whole thing comes crashing down around our ears.
If Trump is elected, he bloody well better start pounding on Congress to roll back the unconstitutional socialist bloat ... sooner rather than later, faster rather than slower ... or it comes crashing down around our ears anyway. Your 20% tariff doesn't solve any problems at all. It's a Band-Aid on a sucking chest wound or a shattered skull.
