Remember Heinlein’s Starship Troopers’ universe? One does not merely have the right to be a citizen and vote by virtue of what Heinlein called the mere accident of birth; rather, one has to earn this right through Federal Service that tested one’s ability and willingness to sacrifice for the greater good of the polity. Bet not a lot of vets would vote for all the undeclared wars the USA has been in since WW2?
And, my many posts about repealing the 16th (income tax) and 17th (direct election of Senators) Amendments.
Go back to funding the Federal Gooferment with tariffs and excise taxes. If the Federal Gooferment needs more money then let it ASK the State Gooferment to impose a sales tax and forward the money to the Federal Gooferment!
Return the power to select Senators to the State Legislatures as the Dead Old White Guys designed it. As a State’s check on Federal power. Restore it and get the money out of elections and politics. Too many carpet baggers buying their Senate seats.
And, how about creating more Representatives in the House? What was the representation ratio in the House when the Union was formed? One per some number of citizens in the thousands. With technology today, it can be a virtual meeting. With a population of 350,000,000, we can set the number of Representatives at 3500 (one per hundred thousand). Guess these folks never heard of Zoom calls. We don’t need politicians and bureaucrats in DC where they can conspire easily about how to oppress us. Argh!
