IOW, you want to go back to the failed approach defined by the Articles of Confederation.
“r9etb”,
Which Article(s) in the Articles of Confederation are you referring to? And how exactly did failure precipitate?
r9etb,
You can stop searching the Articles of Confederation in vain hope of finding a similarity with the Amendment I am proposing. I have done the research for you, and it is clear that you know not of what you speak. The Articles of Confederation specifically DENIED the Congress the power of taxation. Congress could only “request” money from State governments.
Therefore, you must not have understood the second sentence in the proposed Amendment. It explicitly gives the Congress the POWER to tax State revenues.
