    official vote tallies of the ratification, in compliance with the constitution, is not a non sequitur. It's a direct refutation of your moronic claim.

    I'm not playing games. I asked for a suggesiton for improvement, noting that the various derogatory comments about the USA were getting to the point of being almost purely abstract. When you propose something in answer I'm goign to assume you aren't OPPOSED to it.

    But, it's good to know you are opposed to FairTax.

    If you don't agree with something I've said about the topic you should point it out.

    En
    The phrase “Endowed by the creator” is simply referring to a right to exist.
    in order to exist one must have the freedom to go about existing while acknowledging others’ same right.
    The bill of rights that follow are what the Founders consider inalienable rights to pursue that goal of existing.

    You post nonsense that gives some bias confirmation without any serious examination of the facts. If anybody on the face of the earth is batshit crazy, you can see him in your mirror.

    You live in a world of delusion and denial of the truth.

    I'm going to say this once again. No position means NO POSITION. I'm going to dumb this down for you and then you should be able to put this to rest. It does not require that you agree, disagree, etc.

    In post 662 YOU wrote:

    "As always, the question I ask is how you plan to fund state and federal government in a way that is more fair than income tax.

    It's easy to complain about government. I mean, first of all I'm only 1/330,000,000th of the USA. So, not that many of my ideas get snapped up!!

    We have to work toward reasonable solutions that have some sort of prayer of being acceptable to more than ourselves.

    I suspect income tax is a bad place to start, as there really is NO chance of changing that - other than incremental changes to the parameters of the system - like tax brackets, decuctions, etc."


    Everything within those quotation marks and in italics are YOUR WORDS. I cited the Fair Tax to refute your claim as the Fair Tax had rallies wherein thousands were attending. The Fair Tax was the subject of TWO books that made the New York Times Bestseller List. At one time there WAS a chance of changing the income tax. At NO time did I endorse the idea; neither have I stated I oppose it. What I have stated, and continue to state is that the Fair Tax is on the table. If it has support, it has a chance of changing the status quo. A fact simply is not an endorsement. Do you understand that?

    What that means, specifically, is that in the United States Congress the Fair Tax is an idea that is introduced and considered from time to time. Therefore, it is "on the table." So, there IS a chance of changing the income tax. At the same time, the Fair Tax is PROPOSED LEGISLATION. Once that idea is on the table and open for discussion OTHER IDEAS AND COUNTER - PROPOSALS CAN BE OFFERED. That is the only way people like me can suggest going back to the way America operated before the 16th Amendment. It is also an opportunity to get some federal legislators to view the video I gave you a link to - WHICH, BTW, DOESN'T EVEN MENTION THE FAIR TAX!!!

    In politics, when you do not have representation, you go through the back door and introduce new ideas on the heels of existing proposals. That you cannot understand the procedure means that you need to stand down, do some serious reading and figure out that many inroads were being made before the left flipped the people who now comprise the MAGA supporters. Today, the Democrats and Republicans are one hand washing the other; they're going to the same destination by different routes. I have my own proposals. With no mechanism to have them considered, they are counter-proposals that could be used by an aspiring political maverick to bring real debate on Capitol Hill to the subject.

    And, I pointed out that FlatTax is a totally dead issue. Congress certaily is not interested. The president is certainly not interested. The states aren't interested. Besides, didn't you claim that your don't support "FairTax"?

    As you point out, you mentioned "FairTax" in response to my suggestion that it would be better to offer ideas for improvement rather than just complaining about our current state of affairs.

    I'm still interested in real proposals that you think could help.

    I will say, if you want to propose a new method of taxation you should just state what it is. Let's remember that we as a nation decided that what came before the 16th amendment was SO BAD that it required a constitutional amendment!! And, THOSE were the people experienced in that system.

    If you think there is something salvagable from that so seriously rejected system, it would help if you could identify it. Besides, our system of taxation is a hybrid. Maybe you have proposals that could be added.

    I don't agree with your comment on our two parties, by the way. There are real differences. It can look muddled to some, because its only natural that both parties have to fight over constituents and issues that fall somewhere in the middle. AND, our system of government was designed with the idea that democratically elected representatives would form compromise - thus addressing a wider range of concerns.

    and I pointed out that 'on the table' refers to any discussion at hand, your insistence it has to be on the table of congress to be 'on the table' is patently ridiculous strawman spin.

    I showed you exactly how and why your silly moronic conspiracy theory is absolutely batshit crazy. The amendment was fully ratified in full compliance with the constitution.

    If you cannot understand that I have NEITHER endorsed nor condemned the Fair Tax, there is nothing I can post on this board that you are going to understand. And, where I live, the politicians are STILL vowing to reintroduce the Fair Tax. It will merely be a chance to discuss alternative ideas... which you have the link to and if you cannot find it:

    The 14th Amendment failed to meet constitutional muster. It exists by force, not by law.

    Since I've made no moronic claims, only claims morons don't understand; you refuted nothing. You seem to think you're a legend in your own mind.

    you claimed the 16th amendment, and now 14th amendment were not legally ratified. That is a demonstrably false and moronic claim. I proved to you that both were legally ratified in full compliance with the constitution.

    you posted an exceedingly moronic claim, since he already demonstrated what he said is true.

    To 'demonstrate' his claim is false you need to 'prove his demonstrated process' has an error, so far all you have done is screw around using big words you dont understand, and cited the same claim from others, which at this point is meaningless since that has Resistance has demonstrably destroyed, because he DID post the full process.

    except it's been proven false, as you know.


    and I've proven his claim was false, with the actual vote tallies of the ratification, in full compliance with the constitution. That is in no way debatable. There is no way to argue against that.

    Checked your links out. They still do not refute the facts:

    NOTHING you've posted refutes those links.

    you cant prove anything rahl unless you 'prove the process' is correct, simply standing on your soapbox ranting you proved compliance is laughable.

    The whole process has to be legal, the vote count is meaningless and proves nothing, certainly not compliance.

    You seem to think demonstrably proving something is no different than little kids screaming their daddy is tougher than my daddy.

    I've already proven the claim you and he made is false. There is no debating the fact that both amendments were ratified legally, according to the constitution. this is demonstrable, objective fact.
    the process was legal. An amendment was proposed. It passed both houses of congress. The required number of state legislators passed ratified them, they have been added to the US constitution, according the constitution.
    no, I just actually demonstrably prove the batshit crazy stuff you say is false.

    Only if you ignore the WHOLE process 'from start to finish', the whole process has to be legal to prove the vote count is legal, enjoy your fantasy. He posted the process, you have not and can not refute it because its the record.

    and thats another composition fallacy if you think the process begind and ends at federal congress, who needs the states! thanks for the laugh though
