[Amendment10]

Regardless of the tax plan, everybody needs to be aware that if the federal government wasn't spending our tax dollars on constitutionally unauthorized projects then our federal taxes would be lower anyway. This post (<-click link) attempts to explain how FDR's constitutionally unauthorized New Deal programs like Social Security fostered many other constitutionally illegal federal spending programs that taxpayers are paying for today.

As I have stated elsewhere, the people need to wise up to the very serious problem of widespread federal government corruption, particularly where 10th A.-ignoring federal spending is concerned. The people need to quit sitting on their hands and petition lawmakers, judges and justices who are not upholding their oaths to defend the Constitution, demanding that they resign from their jobs.

Agreed! There would be no need for a “Fair” tax if the government stayed within its Constitutional Bounds. And, as you pointed out — income taxes would be WAY lower...

We all agree the government has overstepped its bounds. We KNOW that, okay? We are discussing a different method of taxation that, I feel, would make those who currently aren't paying their share feel a little bit of our pain.

This entire forum is all about the evils of big government. We got that part.
