Right. Good luck with THAT proposal; though we already have 47% in that category (though ‘slaves’ to the State/Fed...mostly voluntary). The 16th effectively makes your point moot.
I would argue that the debt, being extra-Constitutional, is null and void for payment.
What is "THAT" proposal to which you refer?
..though we already have 47% in that category
What category do we have 47% in?
...(though ‘slaves’ to the State/Fed...mostly voluntary).
What does this fragment mean? I just don't understand it.
The 16th effectively makes your point moot.
I'm not sure which point you are referring to, let along whether it has been made moot by what "16th".
You say:"I would argue that the debt, being extra-Constitutional, is null and void for payment."
I say: "I argue that you should refer to Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution of the United States of America where the second paragraph reads: '[The Congress shall have the power]...To borrow Money on the credit of the United States;"
I do apologize though, because I sometimes use "tongue in cheek" irony to make points, and either I do a poor job of it or it escapes the comprehension of some readers.
I was trying to be "cute" about a travesty by clearly illustrating, using mathematics, that the US will not ever clear its debts...it just can't be done.
