Hell. Diamond Dave is a con tool asshole. He reads dogma from bat shit crazy web sites and believes it. Because he WANTS to believe it. Because it makes him mad. And he LOVES being mad. Not unique to DD. Turns out about 15% of our population are like that. They like to be told what to believe. Makes it easy for them, puts their little universe in order, with very little effort on their part.Looks as if I've won the bet.
Yeah... God forbid I spend time with my family, you idiot...
The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
You came to defend that the United States is made up 'of the people'... and this is inherently false... as already explained, it was the states that ratified the constitution, empowering the federal government by their charge.. not the popular vote or will of the individual citizenry..
The 10th amendment is very simple to understand.. The Constitution itself is a LIMITING document. Granting specific powers and charges to the federal government. The states are the entities that gave/give the fed its power. The 10th amendment ensures that any power not SPECIFICALLY GRANTED (as in your little pet entitlements are not specifically granted) is then reserved or held by the states that ratified the federal government, and if the states do not wield that power, then the power is reserved for the people themselves...
I.E. There is no power granted to the fed to take care of your individual wants and needs. That power would have been granted by the states to the fed in a specific statement in the constitution. So, at the state level, the individual state's constitution may or may not deal with some sort of entitlement power wherein individual needs are the responsibility of the state under whatever criteria they deem. If there is not a charge to the state thru its own governing powers, THEN THAT POWER OR RESPONSIBILITY SITS DIRECTLY ON THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS THE WANT OR NEED.. Otherwise stated they are empowered to take care of themselves
Now.... back to mommy's basement to your bong and cheetos
So, in your opinion the 10th Amendment and the Constitution have been violated by every Supreme Court Decision since and including Marbury v. Madison, is that correct? That Nullification and Secession are legal actions by any state when the state or an individual person decides acts of Congress are not of their liking? Is that correct?
My mother passed away in 2008 and I haven't lived in my parents home since I left for Boot Camp in 1967 - so take your fucking personal attacks and shove 'em up your ass. You're not only stupid, you're an asshole too.
So, then you make an obviously rational argument. You end up, should they stay engaged, putting them in a corner. At which time they do this juvenile attack thing.
This poor me, I only make a few million a year, why am I paying all of these taxes issue, is probably difficult for the poor con mind to understand. Perhaps this article puts it in perspective:
Top 1% Got 93% of Income Growth as Rich-Poor Gap Widened - Bloomberg
The article describes the percentage of the income growth going to various income levels. The important thing in a nutshell is that the upper 1% end up with 93% of the pie, and the rest of the 99% get to share the remaining 7%. And, this is pretty unique to the US among the top 35 industrial nations. The real issue, beyond the obvious, is that this percentage, 93% now, has been growing since the 1980's. And fuels heavily the backlash that we see today with the occupy movement, and worker dissatisfaction. And, helps to explain why we just saw the results in the election that we saw.
