And yet it seems to apply more and more...
I’m surprised more people aren’t flying airplanes (and driving cars/trucks/killdozers) into government buildings; t is truly insane that people AREN’T literally dying to rid themselves of the de facto slavery imposed on them. (How much of the year do you have to work before you actually start making money for yourself? How big is that national debt?)
Speaking of the National Debt, did you know that it is illegal and EVEN CONTRA-CONSTITUTIONAL to question its validity? (So says the 14th Amendment! [sec 4])
Nope. I guess I never paid attention to the first part of section 4 of the 14th. I knew about the second secion (you bought Confederate bonds? Lost all of your slaves? Sucks to be you, then.) Most amendments are to fix what were seen as government errors, oversteps or injustices. I wonder why that first part was there. Maybe there was a push to default on the debt incurred for the Civil War and this put a stop to it.
