ETA:  Have I mentioned abolishing the 16th and 17th amendments yet?

Ah, all the usual insane reactionary wet dreams.

For some strange reason I have a feeling that Odin here doesn't even know what the 16th and 17th amendments even do.

Income tax and the direct election of senators.

Yep.  The first is a burden on everyone and has twisted the federal government into a monstrosity from a perpetual union of sovereign states (not surprising really), the other is a half-assed attempt to turn the Senate into the House.  Both have wrought nothing but disaster.

But the repeal of both is neither insane, nor reactionary.  You should travel in red circles more, you'd know that if you did.
