Do they forget that the 16th amendment gives them the power to tax? Fine, let them get rid of the constitution, they will get rid of themselves along with it and we can all finally evolve.

Evolve to what?

I know and understand that, the courts and the joke of a law system we live in does NOT care about the "Never properly ratified" issue. I also believe there is no official law and the 16th amendment is one of the FEW pro tax arguments that government lovers like to throw around. If they get rid of the constitution then ALL bets are off.

I agree; My point in saying this is that, if they officially got rid of the constitution maybe we could rally enough support for a tax strike and use the abolition of the constitution and the 16th amendment as a strong argument in our defense. We are running out of forms of peaceful resistance, a tax strike seems like one of the few left.

True, they are doing that now, showing us that taxation is nothing but control.

Im trying to kick around ideas, the government is NOT going to reign itself in.
