my classes are way beyond teaching the law. Honestly, this is like talking to the dumbest people on the planet. |

Ok I get it. You're joking around. Whew! For a minute there I was thinking nobody can be that stupid. By the way I'm not a history teacher. Grad law in NYC. You were the topic of discussion this morning. Powerpoint is great for showing 90 students a debate online. You made them chuckle.

I teach thought. I don't teach law. It's grad school. They already know the law. I have a PhD. I'm not a lawyer. I love my job. I make a lot of money. I have a completely flexible schedule. I have tenure. All this is too much for you to understand. Let it go.
I'd love to know what you do for a living, but you'd have to lie to avoid embarassment. I won't ask.

"You are in school for Entomology? What a waste."
dude... you teach LAW
entomology can lead to medical advances for people, all you do is teach other people to write documents so overly worded that the original meaning is lost and thus left to interpretation |

@jwhalerfan, I'm not going to be trolled by you. I'm very used to be ridiculed for my field of studies, and you're certainly not the first one that laughs about a PhD in Entomology, but I've studied enough to tell you that ants, roosterroaches, Cimex and Tardigrada will always have the last laugh.
So, I don't care anymore about the sick comments from people like you: I'm with the winner team.

He's not a teacher. He certainly isn't a law professor. I've schooled his ass 4 times on the constitution in this thread alone. LOL @ graduate students being taught by this nitwit. |

You are in school for Entomology? What a waste. When you're done you can get a pretty good job as an exterminator. Most companies will give you a vehicle and everything. Sometimes they have big plastic roaches on the roof. |

@jwhalerfan, you showed to 90 students a debate on I-am-bored? For educational purposes? Are you INSANE?
In moments like these, I am SO glad that I study in Europe, SO glad that I refused a scholarship in Texas...
I feel sorry for your students, jwhalerfan. |

Let me rephrase that...
Federalism is a great concept until the balance is skewed. |

Ummm... It's in the Constitution.
And I'm no "tenther" by any means. I support congress looking out for our "general welfare" and certainly don't consider myself a conservative. But I do think more powers should be left to the states. I agree with social security and discrimination laws. I agree with federal income tax. Never said I didn't. Not too keen on the health reform bill, though. That needs a lot of work.
My point was that the Constitution gave certain powers to the federal government and then says any powers not given to them were to be taken on by the states themselves. That was restated in the 10th Amendment, so it's in there twice.
I realize you just want to argue (seems to be your agenda in several other posts) but I haven't given you my opinion or stance until now. Federalism sucks. Obviously you like it but out scares me knowing there is an all powerful government telling me what to do. |

When the Constitution was written, it FORBADE the federal government from doing anything like this. They were to provide an army and regulate interstate commerce. That is it!

Ask yourself why this country was founded and you'll find your answer. Other than that, I can't help you. No one can. |

No way do you teach law. Point to me the part of the constitution that doesn't allow taxes Mr. Law professor. |

It's clear to me that you don't understand the constitution. Amendments are just as much a part of the constitution as the preamble. Be it the 1st or 16th it's all allowed. I can tell that you're not a history teacher. I suspect you're a substitute gym teacher. It would explain why you're here all day spouting off about the things you know nothing about. |

Obviously it'll never be overturned in court. People try, but it's pointless. Not because federal tax is constitutional, but because it's too late. The money has been spent for the next hundred years or so. We can't just disband the government... THINK, MADEST... THINK |

When Congress passed the 16th Amendment it was completely unconstitutional. That's not a debate. It's written right there in it! But the pockets of congress members and govt officials would fatten so what the hell... Why not.
If you were around then, surely you would have protested as Americans did. But now that it's a hundred years later who cares, right? Get a clue! |

But because of people like you, madest, the government easily ignored our forefathers plans and did the very things their predecessors sought to escape from in Europe. While you sat there and said "duhhhh, okie dokie!"
I seriously hope you're just trying to get a rise out of me and you don't actually believe the stuff you post. Then it'd be funny. Otherwise, how does it feel to just be one of the sheep? Baaaaaaa

A tax dodger came up with this false ratification theory in 1985 so that people would buy his book then learn how to not pay taxes. Then on December 17, 2007, the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois ruled upon the "Reliance Defense Package" which included the 16th amendment ratification. The court ruled the "plaintiff William J. Benson failed to point to evidence that would create a genuinely disputed fact regarding whether the 16th Amendment was properly ratified or whether United States Citizens are legally obligated to pay federal taxes". So everything you think you know about the 16th amendment is wrong oceanbeast and jwhalerfan. Pay your taxes you two deadbeats. |
