Let 's refine our concepts here, a little more.
Within the continental boundaries of the USA,
I want government's jurisdiction to be progressively curtailed & diminished,
but I want the Supremacy of American Armed Forces to continue
for defensive purposes. (Note that I have
no objection to withdrawal
of American troops from England.)
If I coud, then I woud, repeal the 16th Amendment,
replacing it with provisions that all funding for all governments
in America shall be drawn from sales taxes (
and importation tariffs),
with a maximum cap that
no man shall be held to pay over $1OO,OOO
in total taxes. Government services to any of us r likely to be worth less than that.
That shud be revenue neutral; i.e., yielding the same amount of revenue.
