Tizzy??So at which point does the residents of a state directly electing their Senators throw you into a tizzy?
The Amendment was ratified by the requisite number of states and is now the law of the land. You, as a citizen are welcome to change it back....good luck
The fact is that original intent of legitimate de jour tripartite governance was usurped in favor of mob rule.....And, like with the 16th Amendment, there's certainly evidence that the ratification process was less than above-board.
But, I guess as long as you get your piece of the graft.........
And that evidence is.....?
Contu must have a job writing histrionic screeds for the interwebs........
Obviously you are not debating Williams' lies exposed by the CBO numbers, which is precisely why Williams gave no link to HIS phony numbers,
The Poll Tax must be restored or this nation is going down as a lead balloon.In essence the voting booth is DIRECTLY connected to our ATM's'.

The Premise
The authority of the federal government to collect its income tax depends upon the 16th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the federal income tax amendment, which was allegedly ratified in 1913. After a year of extensive research, Bill Benson discovered that the 16th Amendment was not ratified by the required 3/4 of the states, but nevertheless Secretary of State Philander Knox fraudulently announced ratification
.
I, Contumacious Freeman , do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

I wonder what percentage of these supposed 43% of non-tax payers consistently vote republican?
There's no link to any "tax foundation" there's a link to Walter Wiliams' OPINION.... and what he asserts the "tax foundation" (whoever the heck they are) says.
his home page is interesting... all global warming denial and BS about "socialism".... and touting Milton Friedman's laissez fair economics (bogus even when Adam Smith advocated it).
So how 'bout honesty about the source, eh?
love the poll tax stuff... it definitely works to exclude African-Americans...or at least it used to.
so figures....
According to the Washington, D.C.-based Tax Foundation, during 2006, roughly 43.4 million tax returns, representing 91 million individuals, had no federal tax liability. That's out of a total of 136 million federal tax returns. Adding to this figure are 15 million households and individuals who file no tax return at all. Roughly 121 million Americans -- or 41 percent of the U.S. population -- are completely outside the federal income tax system. These people represent a natural constituency for big-spending politicians. Since they have no federal income tax obligation, what do they care about higher taxes or tax cuts?
"The proposed tax increases that the White House and Congress are proposing will probably pass.

According to the CBO publication "Effective Fed Tax Rates pg 18 Table 2: in 2006 the bottom 40% had a 6.3% Federal Tax Liability.

If you check Table 2 of their OWN tax foundation link you see that the top states for the HIGHEST non-tax paying filers are mostly the Commie Red States.

So you are all for taxing the poor, glad you finally admitted that."The proposed tax increases that the White House and Congress are proposing will probably pass.

Just re-posting the same unsourced tax foundation lie does not change the fact that the CBO numbers belie your CON$ervative claims.
Each Quintile represents about 22 million tax returns and according to my linked CBO report: the lowest Quintile paid 1.1% and the second Quintile paid 5.2% in Fed tax liabilities so the claim that 43.4 million tax returns had "NO Fed tax liabilities" is obviously a lie and that explains why your source does not link to any supporting data.

Origins of the Welfare State in America
The New Deal
It was not long before these progressives and social reformers exerted an impact on American national politics. The Progressive Party was launched in 1912 by the Morgans the party was headed by Morgan partner George W. Perkins in a successful attempt to nominate Theodore Roosevelt, and thereby destroy President William Howard Taft, who had broken with his predecessor Roosevelt's Pro-Morgan policies. The Progressive Party included all the spearheads of this statist coalition: academic progressives, Morgan businessmen, social-gospel Protestant ministers, and, of course, our subjects, the leading progressive social workers.
Taft actually was a decent Progressive president, even if a distant third to Wilson and Roosevelt. His conservation policies, insisting on state prominence rather than federal, is what led to his break with TR, not a hissy Morganist political charge. To argue that a 'statist' conspiracy was on the loose is sheer stupidity or deliberate falsification on the part of Contumacious.
Since you have made the assetion, Contumacious, let's see some real evidence, not the make believe stuff like you posted from Dr. Williams. Come on, you can and should do better than that.
