AMEN! When politicians court voters by promising to GIVE THEM MORE BENEFITS, they are BRIBING them and encouraging them to NOT WORK. To BE LAZY slobs and demand even more.
The government can't GIVE YOU ANYTHING YOU DIDN'T WORK FOR that it it hasn't TAKEN FROM SOMEONE WHO WORKED FOR IT.
Your RIGHTS are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. The BIll of Rights spells out specifics, such as speech, religion, assembly, gun ownership, etc.
NOT free healthcare, free housing, free food, free education, free abortions, free transportation, free child care, etc. Those are NOT RIGHTS because OTHERS have to provide them, which infringes illegally on THEIR RIGHTS.
We shouldn't have to explain this to anybody who took social studies in the USA!!!
We'd be deluding ourselves to imagine that it is only Democrats behind this, or that they are doing this for purely ideological or political reasons. U.S. business has always had an insatiable appetite for unskilled laborers who have no options other than to put up with whatever abuse their employers dish out. There's a reason why neither party in Congress (when in the majority) ever adopts any rational immigration policy: a great many U.S. industries, along with global industries doing business here, want to keep illegal aliens illegal. And the reason we're no longer allowed to say "illegal alien" in polite society is not due to some faux respect for the aliens; it's because our reminding ourselves of the fact that they're here illegally would lead us to also contemplate the fact that they're being employed illegally - by their equally criminal employers: "Who Is Really Behind our Illegal Immigration?" https://daveziffer.substack.com/p/who-is-really-behind-our-illegal
A logical solution to this exists that can - and should - be enacted by governors under the enumerated powers and the 9th & 10th Amendments.
16A provides to the federal government the ability to tax our income. That’s not going to be repealed anytime soon.
It does not, however, say how.
16A also does not add to the enumerated powers or provide for usurpation from the several states of reserved powers.
So: Each Governor should task their budget office with a review of the federal budget at the start of each federal fiscal year, 1 Oct.
Every line item in the federal budget that is not supported by the Constitution through which the superior states authorized the inferior federal government’s authority - and, hence, funding needs - should be stricken by each governor.
The federal government has no authority to tax us for things it is not allowed to do.
The remaining total should be divided by the number of taxpayers nationally and that number multiplied by the filers within a governor’s state. The state should use its own taxing authority to gather that amount through whatever tax policies exist in that state, then send a single check from their state to the feds.
The IRS can shrink to the size necessary to process 50 checks.
If no federal budget has been passed & signed - a requirement in law - no taxes shall be paid at all as no governor can know that those receipts will be spent on delegated powers and authority.
Among the idiocies that need to be lined-out as having no enumerated power and so, by definition, are unconstitutional powers having no foundation in the Constitution (e.g.foreign aid), and usurpations of reserved powers (e.g. general police powers - the FBI and ATF both are such usurpation and a violation of 10A).
We also need to stop sending money to the District of Corruption only to be laundered through their bureaucracy before being shipped back, probably 50% lighter, to a state. Just keep it in the state and let the federal bureaucracy evaporate.
If we really want our government to function under the “Supreme Law of the Land,” and hold ourselves up as a “government of limited, constitutional powers,” we need to - and can - stop funding its overreach completely within the bounds of the Constitution through which the states created that federal government to do specific things… and no more.

I am developing a hatred for breathing Biden voters.

This is BRILLIANT!!!! May I use it in an article?
Absolutely.
Can I use your name? Give you credit?
Please see my email to you.
We taxpayers are being screwed every way possible.
And, at the same time, our overlords are pushing us into the gutter.
