Yes, but how?What would be more decentralizing than ending the income tax, a return to sound money, and putting the Senate back into the hands of the states legislatures?The issue is centralized power. It will break and corrupt any system, which it has in the US. That is why the Founding Fathers created Federalism, which has been subverted over the years.well i agree w/you Oddone, my personal views are rather dark you see, i view our current governance as as overbearing all controlling behemoth, were they turn a simple bill into a 2000 page free for all ~S~Yeah it is....But not for reasons that the Article V people say it is.
The Fed, thei income tax, and direct election of Senators have all served to create an immense mess.....Repeal those foolish departures from the Constitution and most of the current political problems would go away.
So the only cure is decentralization.
And I understand the cynicism and distrust, but does this mean we can never put our hope and trust in anything to fight the current system?
Sound more like you support the Article V movement than opposing it because this is the ONLY legal means to get something like that done.
