Rob H. and Rene, Pro Button Pusher liked this
"BROUN: Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson started this process of socializing America, and they did it with the, Woodrow Wilson, particularly, pushes the 16th amendment that taxes income directly, and the 17th amendment that allows the direct elect of US senators, because the US senators intially were supposed to represent the states. [...] I’d like to see the 16th amendment and the 17th amendment to be repealed finally, and that’s going to be a long process."

Yes, because getting rid of income taxes and direct elections for senators are *exactly* what's needed to fix the problems in this country. *eyeroll*

I really think everyone in the GOP and those who support them should move to Afghanistan, because their views are closely aligned with those of the Taliban: go back 1,000 years ...

Yes, allowing the political forces within a state to elect the Senators for that state will definitely make that process more Democratic and fair *headdesk*
