Congress != Progress
I don't include food in the national security list. Let the states who still tax for their local needs figure that one out.
I want control of
1.Water
2.Power
3.Energy
4.Transportation
5.Oil
6.military
7.All entry points
And all of these are dependent on citizens voluntarily funding them. If you don't want water and the Military, you don't fund them. So the National Security list is up to Americans to control as individuals from their pocket books. But control still remains with the federal government, even if not funded. A state cannot take over the military or water.
I added housing to the list. Some sort of housing to take people out of the elements, not tract houses.
Hammurbi (1750 BC). Just the idea that all human beings are entitled to their dignity. Some items are for military reasons, such as oil, and only oil on federal land, your land.
The president & Congress continue to legislate, but the power $$$$ is money, they lack the ability to act without the people. If you president wants to start a war, he has to come directly to you and ask for money to raise an Army. You decide if you fund his war with your ATM card. Whatever you fund, cannot be put in any slush-fund. It must be used for your intended purpose. If it is not used in six months, it is refunded into your ATM account, meaning, there was not enough enthused people to go to war.
Furthermore, by this token, would you be for paying into social security being optional in the real world?
If I have compassion for seniors who served America, probably. You have to remember, by eliminating the IRS & DC, you will have more money than you know what to do with, and you can afford to be charitable if you wish. You have eliminated foreign aid, Israel, air bases, military, welfare, etc. Plus you have completely deregulated, which lowers the price on produce, etc. You will have gasoline for a $1.00 a gallon. Farmers & citizens should have next to nothing in energy bills. We make an electric highway (glass highway) for 100-200+ mph computerized travel, no accidents, no adverse environment (dust, rain, hail, snow, nada) . 300 nuclear plants coupled to the grid & 300 desaltination units pumping fresh water inland to create more farm lands and communities in deserts. Which means more jobs and less poverty for a whole lot of people. No controls on corporations, they either survive or they fail and someone comes along to replace them.
"Raise an Army?"
Who defends us until the need for an Army is on the news?
