Did you know the GOP now controls 66 of 99 state legislative houses?

A thought exercise for the Tax amendment:

Consider representative apportionment of taxes. By that, I mean congress to decide how much to raise in taxes. After that, the amount to be raised gets apportioned between the members of Congress (1/2 to Senate, 1/2 to House). The states then receive a tax bill for their representation (sum of their Senator’s bill and their Representatives).

This allows the states to raise taxes to pay their bill as best and most appropriate to that state.

What happened to that oft repeated story that obammy and the dems were going to bury the pubbie party forever?
Make em the minority party for a hundred years.

Yes, as expected, the statists disagree with the plain wording of the constitution. In that event, I hope the states hold a convention anyway and submit the amendments all around. Let Rome-on-the-Potomac split hairs and deny the ratification by three fourths of the states.

But, if the states do not take up the lifeline bequeathed to them by the Framers, I suppose long after I'm gone some muslim historian (the only ones allowed) will surreptitiously write “Rise and Fall of the American Republic,” and quietly weep.
