“pick and choose words”
It’s not done at random, but via skilled leftist lawyers.
“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes”
Amendment XVI
Your hard-earned income -> property of the United States
“The Congress shall have power to dispose of the..property belonging to the United States”
Article IV, Property Clause
Congress has the power to take every dollar you earn and throw them all into a Waste Management truck, or into welfare recipients’ bank accounts.
Your appreciation of “skill” and mine differ.
The excerpts you chose really ARE words chosen at random. Article IV, as written, makes sense. The terms “Property” and “Territory” used in it have a meaning which you have twistedly taken out of context to write your own story.
Amendment X, however, stands clearly as a capstone to limit the powers of the Government being created to what is described in the rest of the document. There is no Welfare Department, Waste-Management truck, or Unicorn-Ranch provided for in these described powers. You may wish it, but there is probably a reason it isn’t there, and only your “skilled” twisting of text can imagine that it is.
