Patriots are reminded that POTUS is constitutionally “married” to Congress. So one of constitutionally low-information Trump’s campaign mistakes imo was getting likewise low-information patriots’ hopes too high about what he would actually be able to accomplish in his first two years since he has to work with a corrupt Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration.
In other words, the 2016 elections are arguably not over yet, patriots needing to finish the job that they started by electing Trump, Trump’s first two years in office arguably for practice because of the uniparty Congress that wants to get rid of him.
In other words, it is uniquely up to us patriot voters to first make sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting, state sovereignty-respecting, patriot candidates on the primary ballots for 2018 elections, and then pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day.
Regarding tax reduction, since repealing the ill-conceived 17th Amendment (17A) is the ultimate tax-reduction plan imo, 17A helping to foster unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional, Article I, Section 8-limited powers, patriots need to consider qualifying primary candidates by getting them to commit to express-laning a ConCon for the sole purpose of repealing 17A.
"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.
For those patriots concerned about a possible overthrow of the country by a pirated ConCon, note that the product of a ConCon is never a new amendment to the Constitution, but a proposed amendment that the states can either ratify or reject.
After 17A has been repealed and patriots support Trump in working with federal and state lawmakers to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes, then the following will hopefully happen.
The states will find a tsunami of new revenues that they won't know what to do with. For starters, each state could establish its own healthcare and retirement programs, increase funding for public schools, police and fire departments, and repair infrastructure.
Corrections, insights welcome.
I wish it would happen, but it won’t. The 17th amendment is here to stay. The big problem rests with the high tax states that avoid paying their fair share of federal taxes. It’s a rigged system for states like NY, NJ, MA, etc.
