ANDREW BRANCA: You want to loot something you need access first. You have to make those resources accessible. They make the money accessible so they can steal it. That was the real purpose of the income tax . . . so our wealth could be looted

The ACTUAL purpose of ANY system is WHAT IT ACTUALLY DOES.

The ACTUAL PURPOSE of the 1913 16th Amendment INCOME TAX was NOT to raise revenue with which to operate the federal government--not at the 1% rate at which it started.

ANDREW BRANCA: 17th Amendment [made] US Senators POPULARLY ELECTED . . . LITERALLY BROKE America's federalist order. A federal nation is supposed to have both a supreme federal government AND ALSO individual sovereign states.

Not only did the apocalyptic year of 1913 give America all the wonders of the FEDERAL RESERVE, it ALSO gave us the 17th Amendment, making US Senators POPULARLY ELECTED.

This LITERALLY BROKE America's federalist order. A federal nation is supposed to have both a supreme federal government AND ALSO individual sovereign states. Those STATES were to have a SEAT AT THE FEDERAL TABLE, as the SOVEREIGN ENTITIES THEY WERE in the form of the SENATE--and those Senators would be APPOINTED BY THE STATES, and NOT be popularly elected. The POPULATION already had federal representation in the House. The Senate was supposed to the the STATE's CHECK on the authority of the federal government. The 17th Amendment broke this frame, such that the states no longer had any meaningful check on the federal government, and hence it grew like a cancer in future decades--especially in the form of the scores of so-called "independent agencies."

BRUCE FENTON: “If you can’t pay your taxes…don’t be poor.”

Our Town Council keeps raising taxes.

So I showed up with an English Lord’s wig to speak in *favor* of taxes.
