Then let the states decide to opt out of providing the feds with money.

Sorry bud...the US Constituiton gives Congress the power collect taxes from every US Citizen.
Every state ratified and adopted the US Constitution. Thus, no person has the right to &quot;opt out&quot;
of paying Federal taxes.


edit: bad word choice

The states pay federal taxes? Ummm, since when? The fed's tax the citizens and the states tax their citizens. Some states don't tax their citizens (nevada comes to mind). The states don't pay taxes to the federal government. Interstate transportation standards are a VERY GOOD thing.

You finally hit on what the best argument is for this thread. I couldn't get it out of Russ.He's still pissed about a previous exchange.

The arguement should be why can't we select which taxes we are going to pay? Why are all taxes lumped together so as to make it neccessary for a cpa to decifer where each penny goes? We have enough federal employees,suerly there is enough cpas in that machine to crank out percentages to each project. For those that want to protest thier taxes going to a cause they have a moral objection to,they could deselect it and remove that protion from thier tax burden

Don't laugh. There is a group of tax protestors who arte doing that now and getting away with it(from the last I heard about it)


Frenchie,I didn't bring up the &quot;Harvard&quot; deal,an antagonsit did.I don't think he has a law degree either. I'm happy council visits this forum. Welcome and Hello.😉

Anectdotal evidence:

When the cdl liscensing proceedure was mandated by the &quot;Fed Govt.&quot;,that argument of states rights verses Feds rights was a big issue. It was resolved on the basis of law that states (in effect)Federal laws can supersede state laws when federal laws are more stringent in thier implimentation than state laws. If state laws are more stringent,than state laws would prevail. The result was we have now ,in essence, a federal drivers liscense issued to each driver in thier &quot;home&quot; state and the laws as they pertain to that liscense are written or adopted into state law.

The point being, when Federal law is stronger than state law,Federal law prevails.

I could be wrong. I'm human. If I make a mistake I'll ask your forgiveness.
If not,so be it. I'm off having fun. ENJOY!😉

Just pay your damn taxes geez!!! Are you trying to get a hot deal or something?

Here in New South Wales the DUI limit is 0.05, &amp; we are taught in the Drvers handbook (that you more or less need to learn by rote to get a drivers license) that 3 standard drinks in one hour will get the average person to 0.5 &amp; one drink every hour after that will keep him/her there. (I actually think 0.05 is too low, 0.08 is about right).

So unless you are small, Female or Asian (Asians tend to have a lower resistence to alcohol) you definitly don't have to worry about 2 beers with lunch taking you to 0.08, unless its 2 pints of Danish 'Elephant' beer (I think 17% alcohol) or 2 pints of Belgium 'Gladiator' beer (10% alcohol).

However I agree with you Federal govts should stay out of State affairs (they get up to the same thing in Oz, theose silly gun laws were more or less forced on the states by the Feds the same way).

For years Law Enforcement has been against the .08 rule. The number of 'drunks' stopped and get off a charge for .02 difference is so small as to be non-existence.

It's just more Government interference in State Law.
