Watching traitors
February 21, 2013, 11:14pm (report abuse)The only way to get anywhere, which of course means no pork, is at the state level through Interposition-elected state reps insert themselves between the citizenry & the rogue feds , using Nullification. ie- telling the feds that our state is ignoring the feds illegal mandates. To give it reality the state
Nullifies the, never passed & unconstitutional, fed income tax . Since the states all already have in state tax collection systems this is easy. If the residents of each state,by resident vote, decide some increase of state tax in THEIR STATE b avail for selective contribution to the fedgov, then?
