i haven't found it, i want to know, don't you?
article 1, section 8, clause 1 gives congress the authority to levy a tax, it was passed during the civil war to pay for the war and ratified by the sixteenth amendment.
What would be your direct suggestions in order to cover immediate needs?I would ask them why the stimulus bill does not more directly address the immediate needs of the economy and has so much relatively less immeditaely important spending in it?

We're still paying for the civil war. Interesting.
jsanders, I may have misunderstood what you were saying. Did you mean to say that Article I, Section 8, clause 1 was passed in order to pay for the Civil War?
Yeah I read all about that, and then this: IRS: The Real FactsI haven't found it, I want to know, don't you?
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1 gives Congress the authority to levy a tax, it was passed during the Civil War to pay for the war and ratified by the Sixteenth Amendment.
And the Internal Revenue Code was passed in 1939 and revised in 1986, and it is a statement of federal law.

Yes, I did. The cost of the war was devastating. Congress passed a law giving them the power to levy taxes to provide defense and warfare for the country. It was the first income tax levied in our country.

I think the American people deserves some clarification!
I am thinking more along the lines of asking "Why does the various federal OIG offices allow inconsistentcies in their audits pertaining to banks that have used federal gaurantees to simply be swept under the rug?"I would ask them, when they planned on filing bankruptcy--& dissolving the Federal government.
I wouldn't ask either of them anything. I would explain Austrian-economics to both of them, and I'd commend Senator Voinovich for retiring in 2010 and recommend to Senator Brown that he resign.

I mean if we can direct these guys in the right direction it helps. We need to be specific so they can be specific when they go into their meetings.
How?
Why?
What will/can it accomplish?

Pertaining to Austrian-economics. Only if you can give me the short version between now and next week so I personally understand what you are talking about.
I agree with you on that last line there. I am not familar with the "omnibus spending bill" I need to keep whatever it is I say as simple as possible. A old hand taught me that years ago. He said, "If you really want to get their attention address them as if you were speaking to a kindergarten class."What would be your direct suggestions in order to cover immediate needs?I would ask them why the stimulus bill does not more directly address the immediate needs of the economy and has so much relatively less immeditaely important spending in it?

Have a real discussion about what NEEDS to be in this bill to address immediate needs. Have a line by line discussion about, given the situation we are in right now and the purpose of this bill, whether this line of spending, worthy as it may be, needs to be in THIS bill NOW. I have actually read some of this bill and just as an example, I don't know why it has been labeled a priority that NASA needs a few billion dollars to conduct climate research. In reading through about 10 pages I found maybe two spending items that would clearly create jobs. One of them wasn't even private sector jobs (more funding to hire more police). This bill reads more like an omnibus spending bill than anything that reflects urgency in reviving the economy.
Why?
Because someday the chickens will come home to roost. Our debt has soard in the last 8 years. Bush is to blame and as much as libs like to point that out they would also have to admit that Obama will most likely just keep tacking on to that, nevermind reversing the trend.
What would like it to accomplish?
Get is back to robust economy of course. Improve the value of the dollar. If you think we have an inflation problem, you ain't seen nothin' yet.

That's one hell of a case of foresight.
