16th Amendment -- (1913) This amendment instituted the federal income tax.
The unsavory federal income tax system was designed as a two-part tool for the liberal elitists in the federal government.
First, the new tax system was conceived in part to reduce the importance and value of owning property and to hurt the credibility of conservative idealists. Originally, the founding fathers relied on property taxes and lotteries to fund the fledgling government. The property tax system was designed to tax only those who had an honest stake in the outcome of society.
The owners of wealth and property were dependent on the honest system of capitalism to maintain their wealth. At the same time, those who were poor were dependent on the rich to employ them and sustain them. So it was in everybody's self interests to maintain the status-quo. Originally, only property owners could vote. Yes, this was rich white males. That was it. They later saw fit to allow other colors and females the right to vote so long as they were property owners as well.
The initial democratic ideal of letting everyone vote had nothing to do with suffrage of women or blacks but was the primitive earliest proto-tool of the liberal elites to try to bring down Republicanism. Surely, there would be no harm in that, except that the concept of the tax-free poor voting to steal the wealth of the rich was seen as the reason for needing the income tax in the first place. This is really a very convoluted mess. But the wickedness of the income tax system was genius in that it naturally would include a graduated taxing methodology. This leads us to the second tool of liberalism.
Second, the falsely-perceived unjust-ness of the income tax system -- in its original form -- by the poor, was purposely distorted as "inequitable" to drive a strong wedge between the lower classes and the upper classes. This was done to ensure the construction of strongly-dependent lower classes which would be receptive to the basic liberal lies of the positive worth of wealth redistribution.
This Robin Hood-esque concept of redistribution was used to attempt to bastardize and criminalize the honest wealth of the rich as something to be forcibly taken regardless of the actual honest acquisition of the wealth by the wealthy. In other words, the rich were said to be unjustly rich and so they should be justly robbed from...a Robin Hood lie, indeed.
So, by creating a wedge between the classes, the liberal elites would create a voting block of wealth-sappers who likely would never vote to oppose a redistributed federal handout. This created that massively-monolithic and despotic core of the Democratic party in these united states...a core that has proven countless times to be virtually impossible to reach and to convince any of them to accept responsibility for their own lack of ability to increase their lot in life. They are permanently convinced that the rich are "keeping them down".
17th Amendment -- (1913) This amendment created the popular election of senators.
This amendment was the first "official" law requiring open democracy in our nation. It purposefully and unapologetically put aside our nation's original design of a Republican government. The House of Representatives already served to represent the people. But the Senate was designed to serve the states. When this amendment was passed, the authority of states to determine to what extent the federated government would be allowed to operate was thwarted by a false shadow of representation in which the same goals and interests of the House of Representatives would be thrust on the Senate...which was never meant to be democratic. The House members were pseudo-democratically elected per district in a very fair manner. But the Senate members were appointed by the already-elected state office powers such that those Senators were Republican leaders of the people. Since this law has passed the Senate no longer acts as a unified body of Republican representatives, but as a disparate host of Democratic populists. The usage of "Democratic" and "Republican" in this context has nothing to do with the American system of political parties.
It should be noted that the methodology behind passage of the 16th and 17th amendments directly violated our constitutional laws concerning how amendments are instituted and could easily be thrown out by the Supreme Court if ever they were to become reformed enough to do the right thing. Additionally, these amendments were the first two nails in the coffin that is called "Democracy".
23rd Amendment -- (1961) This amendment allows District of Columbia citizens to vote on Presidential elections.
While this is another principle that sounds ideal and equitable, it is not. This amendment opened a can of worms -- a gateway really -- of allowing people who don't pay federal taxes to vote on federal elections thus giving more people the power to dictate what is done with other peoples' money. As indicated above, this is one of the chief powers of a tyrannical Democracy and a principle tool of the liberal elitists.
It should be noted that the reason for the unjust-ness of this amendment is due to the first principle of no taxation without representation. The converse of that principle is no representation without taxation. As of the present, D.C. residents do not have representation in the federal government. This is an important factor in creating a federal non-state territory. Technically, only the states have the power to enact laws that govern the states. If a non-state entity, such as Washington D.C. or Puerto Rico were to pay federal taxes, then they'd be entitled to vote on federal issues that would affect the states. But since these and other territories are not states, they shouldn't have that power. That is why the federal government does not tax them. On the other hand, if they should be allowed representation in the states then they should be taxed federally and should be granted state-hood as is the custom and lawful manner in which our nation expands it's power base.
Currently, this amendment allows D.C. residents to have non-representative say-so in our presidential politics. That has been and continues to be unjust for the rest of us American. Their unjust voting disenfranchises the voters in the union of states.
26th Amendment -- (1971) This amendment creates a federally-determined minimum voting age of 18.
This strange amendment -- intended to give power to the unwise and inexperienced -- was designed to add even more membership (even if only temporarily per generation) to the despotic power base of the Democratic party. Originally, and up until this time, each state set its own minimum voting age on all elections. This made sense since this was a logical power for each state to control their own citizenry and to ensure maturity in making decisions.
However, due to the outspoken and amoral rise of the "hippie" movement, young people -- demanding to be heard in spite of being minors -- pushed the liberal establishment to accept the free-spirit idealism of many youth to be accepted to the Democratic party through voting. Though most hippies would later join the Democratic party, they wanted to ensure that the other young people, too young to even be considered a hippie would be steered towards democratization by the false pretenses of this silly law.
That the adults of the nation actually passed this amendment (which was done so legally), proves that our society has been and continues to be in steady decline. To this day, the concept of accepting idiocy and immaturity as legitimate societal norms have brought about a wholesale sense of entitlement by an entire generation. The concepts of "safe spaces", "free sex", "unattached responsibility", and even a right to "free information" are all falsely gained powers and concepts that do not belong to children but are actually given to children as a set of "rights". This is insanity!
Now, with all that being discussed to great end, few will ever experience the truths revealed in this treatise and I will likely have to share this on the outside just to try to reach a few open ears. Thus is my lot in life. I almost hate my ability to see the truth for what it really is. I sometimes think I'd be happier living in the imaginary world of the Democratic drones who actually believe the lies of liberalism. At least then I wouldn't have to think about stuff.
Ah, sweet freedom, the price of your truth is maddening.
It seemed like such a waste to destroy an entire battle station just to eliminate one man. But Charlie knew that it was the only way to ensure the absolute and total destruction of Quasi-duck, once and for all.
