Vermonters, How About it?
Patriots are reminded that the main reason that misguided, post-17th Amendment ratification Sen. Sanders wants to abolish the Electoral College is the following imo.
Liberals, Democrats, RINOs and Socialists want to permanently control state powers and state revenues that the unconstitutionally big federal government has stolen, and continues to steal from the states, state revenues stolen by means of unconstitutional federal taxes, taxes that corrupt Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States. Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]. United States v. Butler, 1936.
The remedy for unconstitutionally big federal government
Patriots need to finish the job that they started in the 2016 elections when they elected PDJT.
More specifically, patriots need to elect a new patriot Congress in the 2020 elections that will not only promise to support PDJT's vision for MAGA, now KAG, but will also promise to surrender state powers that the corrupt feds have been stealing from the states back to the states.
And to make such changes permanent, patriots also need to support PDJT in leading the states to repeal the 16th and ill-conceived 17th amendments.
Remember in November 2020!
MAGA! Now KAG! (Keep America Great!)
"The Holy Grail of organized crime is to control government power to tax." me
"The constitutionally undefined political parties are basically rival, corrupt voter unions, union dues paid by means of unconstitutional federal taxes. me
"The smart crooks long ago figured out that getting themselves elected to federal office to make unconstitutional tax laws to fill their pockets is a much easier way to make a living than robbing banks." me
"Federal career lawmakers probably laugh all the way to the bank to deposit bribes for putting loopholes for the rich and corporations in tax appropriations laws, Congress actually not having the express constitutional authority to make most appropriations laws where domestic policy is concerned. Such laws are based on stolen state powers and uniquely associated stolen state revenues." me
I wonder if it ever occurs to democrats how a pure democracy would allow for slavery....
-all you need is a 51 percent majority.
The United States is NOT a democracy, it is a representative republic, thus the Electoral College makes perfect sense. Without the College, the NYC, Los Angeles, and Chicago metro areas would elect every president....
