"Major Breakthrough for Global Tax at Paris Summit"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
One of the main reasons that the drafters of the Constitution gave ordinary citizens voters the power to vote for House representatives is because House uniquely has the power to originate tax appropriations bills. So citizens could remedy tax-hungry lawmakers by voting them out of office.
In other words, politically correct, unaccountable global tax is taxation without representation for US citizens.
And if corrupt Congress wants to sell the global tax as foreign aid, consider that Justice Joseph Story had clarified that foreign aid is constitutionally indefensible.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
Also, global tax is based on federal government's constitutionally enumerated treaty power imo. The problem is that respected constitutional experts, including Supreme Court, have clarified that treaty power cannot be used as a back door to expand the federal government's powers.
"The obvious and decisive answer to this, of course, is that no agreement with a foreign nation can confer power on the Congress, or on any other branch of Government, which is free from the restraints of the Constitution." —Reid v. Covert, 1957.
In fact, consider that Thomas Jefferson, based on his experience as vice president and therefore president of the Senate which confirms treaties, had previously noted limits on federal treaty power.
“In giving to the President and Senate a power to make treaties, the Constitution meant only to authorize them to carry into effect, by way of treaty, any powers they might constitutionally exercise.” —Thomas Jefferson: The Anas, 1793.
“Surely the President and Senate cannot do by treaty what the whole government is interdicted from doing in any way.” — Thomas Jefferson: Parliamentary Manual, 1812 .
Regarding 2024 elections, it's up to us patriots to initiate the final stage of Trump 47's second term mission to finish draining the swamp by primarying as many of our beloved state and federal lawmakers and executives as we can.
After all, lawmakers and executives continue to show that they do not have the patriotism and leadership skills necessary to find legislative support for effective remedies for unconstitutional government policies.
In fact, given that one of the very few powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given to the unconstitutionally big federal government to dictate domestic policy is to run the Mail Service (most federal domestic policy actually based on stolen state powers), the worst problem that the peacetime country would otherwise be looking at with a new Congress of freshman lawmakers is a delay with mail delivery.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
Trump can endorse candidates that Constitution-savvy patriots recommend as long as candidates are not incumbents, candidates also promising to repeal the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th (popular voting for federal senators) Amendments after they win office.
The definition of insanity is reelecting your beloved career state and federal lawmakers and executives over and over again, expecting those same politicians to find remedies for unconstitutional government policies every time.
Thank you- excellent Constitutional powerful argument.
