Who cares? The Constitution also says that black people are only 3/5ths of a person. Also, the 2nd Amendment is an ammendment, but the right to impose taxes and regulate commerce are part of the original Constitution, so there is nothing unconstitutional about my proposal. And, if there were, then a Constitutional amendment would be desirable.
Show me the amendment that took away or restricted citizens and I'll show you the amendment that repealed it. There was exactly one and it didn't go well.
The 3/5s compromise was repealed by amendment. The Constitution doesn't give us our rights, it protects them from the government.
And if you think that your tax scheme is just fine then apply it to the first amendment. Should I only be allowed so many words online and then be required to pay the government for the privilege of saying more? No, because that's insane.
You're free to propose an amendment to the Constitution to your representatives. You do know it takes 67 Senators, 290 Representatives, and 38 states to amend the Constitution, right? I'm sure you can find 357 politicians that are just fine never being elected again, should be easy, right? Good luck with those states though, I'm not sure even California would be that dumb.
welcometodiowa, you know what I find funny about SteemIt is everyone likes to tell US how to run our country and they aren't even citizens!?! They would't know freedom if it came up and bit them. Following you!
Yeah, there's very little that's as disingenuous as pretending American law is comparable to other countries. It's not. That was the entire point of the Constitution.

Oh, and followed back. :-)
So do something about it and I'll continue to counter your argument.
