The Liberty Amendment


Do we have the time?

I have my doubts that there is time to to work "within" the system, but this is a great attempt.

The Liberty Amendment.

Section 1. The Government of the United States shall not engage in any business, professional, commercial, financial or industrial enterprise except as specified in the Constitution.

Section 2. The constitution or laws of any State, or the laws of the United States shall not be subject to the terms of any foreign or domestic agreement which would abrogate this amendment.

Section 3. The activities of the United States Government which violate the intent and purpose of this amendment shall, within a period of three years from the date of the ratification of this amendment, be liquidated and the properties and facilities affected shall be sold.

Section 4. Three years after the ratification of this amendment the sixteenth article of amendments to the Constitution of the United States shall stand repealed and thereafter Congress shall not levy taxes on personal incomes, estates, and/or gifts.

Read the whole thing for an explanation of how it could work.

I'm honestly not sure if "the system" can be saved, much less if it should be saved. We're still in the "me first" stage. Everyone is willing to give up everything else if only their piece of the government pie can be preserved.
