The destruction of our liberties began with the amendment which allowed the Federal government to tax the people directly. This gave the Feds a powerful weapon to enlarge its scope and to hold the States hostage.
A better and safer way to finance those few activities the Feds are constitutionally responsible for would be to levy an annual charge against each state. This way, citizens would be closer to the taxers and the Feds would have to court the States instead of the other way around. The power to tax is the power to control. The Feds should produce and justify a budget to be approved by our representatives then the cost apportioned among the States based upon some agreeable formula.
Our Congressional representatives serve three masters: Themselves, their State and their country. Guess which is most important to them. The goal should be to narrow it down to one, the people of their State. If they do that, the others will take care of themselves.
