Wow!!! There's a lot to digest here. Immigration and State's rights alone can take years to debate. Look at the trouble we're having right now with ILLEGALS entering our country and the blind eye being turned by our servants. I have solutions trust me. Neither the democrats nor the republicans, UNFORTUNATELY, want to hear these solutions nor address the problem. The democrats see these illegals as future votes and the republicans see these people as cheap labor - good for the bottom line!
We can get into an indepth discussion on this topic after we finish our trek through the Constitution. I'll spell out my platform in detail on this subject and you can either tear me apart or agree with me; either way it will be fun.
Also, note that "No Capitation, or other direct, Tax shall be laid, unless in Proportion to the Census or Enumeration herein before directed to be taken."
OOOOPS!!! What does that say? Am I reading that correctly? No DIRECT TAX shall be laid upon YOU unless in proportion to the Census. Does that mean NO TAXES on WAGES? I think it does.
Let me explain! The government has a budget (allegedly - supposed to have anyway). The government can collect money through: taxes, duties, excises and imposts. If the government does not collect enough money to run the government; then (according to Thomas Jefferson - I believe) the government is too large and must be purged of the excess fat (PORK - as it is referred to in the bills that congress tries to pass without our permission.); or the Secretary of State must send each individual an invoice for each person's obligation over and above what congress did not collect. Upon the receipt of an invoice for their fair share of the government's budget overrun, each citizen is supposed to write a check for his or her obligation to balance the budget. Thus, a tax in direct proportion to the census.
I contend that if we actually followed the Constitution, 99% of all congresspersons would be out on their collective ears and be replaced by fiscal conservatives that would work within the budget and would balance the budget every year or face the consequence of their predecessors. I also contend, that our SOCIALISTIC-COMMUNISTIC DEMOCRATIC WELFARE STATE would cease to exist and we'd get back to the Constitution instead of following the ten planks of the Communist Manifesto.
Go ahead, I dare you to prove me wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Until next time, I am Eldee Charles Spratt, "The" American Patriot
