Ron Paul Explains What is Happening To Us and Our Country

The following video Ron Paul Interviewed By Glenn Beck on CNN 12-18-07 will help you to understand some of the basis and foundational causes of a vast majority of the problems we individual Americans are facing, such as the financial crisis, monetary and fiscal problems, and general Government intrusion into our daily lives resulting in prosperity crushing Socialism by the incremental collapse of freedom through the constitutionally contemptuous legislation at the hands of both houses of Congress.
Sooner or later, we as INDIVIDUAL Free people, are going to have to take charge of OUR individual responsibilities to hold the Federal Government accountable, particularly with respect to The Constitution of the United States of America and the Declaration of Independence, and DEMAND that they comport to every single word as per the spirit, intent, and very meaning as it was meant on the day it was signed at Independence Hall in Philadelphia, WITH NO CHANGES.
What does that mean to us? It means that the Federal Government is only allowed to do those specific things “ENUMERATED” in The Constitution AND NOTHING ELSE. That means that in comparison with the size and scope of the Federal Government today, it will hardly exist. This is exactly in accordance with the 10th Amendment of the Constitution:10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
You see people, every single thing that the Federal Government does, that is not listed in the Constitution is ILLEGAL! Additionally, according to the Supreme Court, cases noted in several previous posts on this blog, the Sixteenth Amendment, which there is proof never was ratified by a proper “number of States”, does not change the “apportionment” clause under Article 1 Section 2
Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons.
What this means is that the “direct taxes” that you and I pay as being called “income taxes” are to be apportioned, which is politically not possible over the long term. It is that way for a reason and that is to purposely keep the Federal Government small so they do not usurp our rights, our freedom or our individual wealth and power as freemen. State Governments are supposed to be quite large and duplicate services of all the other states. You might think this would be a waste of money. But this is far from the case. With the power that we have as individuals on our State and local governments, how could they, if we stayed involved, which we would because we would get ticked off at any tax increase, spend the TRILLIONS of Dollars in waste that the Federal Government does? Would we let State governments spend pork dollars to the level that the Federal Government does? I think NOT.
The power to tax is the power to destroy.
