If we're able to return most of the power to "the states" or "the people" we'll have a far better chance to advance the cause of liberty. Ending the income tax, and allowing free choice in money would sure do some good too! Bijaya – there’s very little that the federal government does that’s actually in line with the constitution.

What about the IRS law that was not ratified by a majority of states also? They have the gall to usurp our rights as individuals as well as the states. Lets get back to the gold standard as required by the constitution so that we may have real $ growth based on the value of real $ production. Sincerely, Bijaya Kumara Das Brian D Grover It is about time.

And that's often what it gets down to. The feds essentially bribe the state governments with money through highway funding and the like - to help "incentivize" a continued subservience to their unconstitutional edicts. No doubt that there are sympathetic legislators in other states, and places like Montana and New Hampshire are taking steps as well. It's a long, long battle, but as things get worse economically, I think we'll find more and more people getting sick and tired of federal encroachments in their daily lives. Makes me think of a great quite by John Adams: <em>“The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations. This radical change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people, was the real American Revolution.”</em> By the way, I'd also like to recommend Kevin's book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/0307405753?tag=tenthamendmentcenter-20&camp=0&creative=0&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=0307405753&adid=1XKMKPJ56JYHR7X6F8E8&" rel="nofollow">Who Killed the Constitution</a>, which he co-authored with Tom Woods. It's always sitting right next to my desk. Kevin, excellent point indeed. And that’s often what it gets down to.
