Since 1947, the biggest employer in the nation has been the federal government, with currently over 1,800,000 civilian employees.
So it is very strange, indeed, that Obama and his liberal Democrats are presently challenging the taxation status of large corporations and companies without critically appraising their own status, since the salaries doled out to these bureaucrats come from private-sector businesses in the form of collected federal tax money.
This is because federal government funding and operation have been based much too long upon self-protective pragmatism.
You see, ever since the ludicrously pragmatic 16 years of the Franklin D.
Roosevelt administrations, the federal government has behemothly expanded its regulation of almost every aspect of American life.
This has been done under the auspices of Supreme Court decisions, which have declared such regulation as constitutional.
Yet, there have always been a substantial silent majority of rank-and-file Americans who have quietly disagreed with such politically-based and conspicuously unconstitutional Supreme Court decisions, even though the Brethren have been allowed to endorse and validate rabid presidential agendas, which have ultimately been detrimental to the republic.
For some abject reason, many of these quiet American citizens, in the likeness of docile sheep, have historically lost the will to dissent, and have followed in lock-step behind such agendas, defending them in much the same way that too many Russian citizens blindly defended Soviet communism.
From the beginning of the American republic, until 1934, the States and their governors had more authority, according to the 10th Amendment, than the central government to determine the quality of life for their People.
And that's the way it should be presently, and for all time.
The Code of Federal Regulations is only legal according to 20th Century Supreme Court rulings, not according to the U.
S.
Constitution.
The U.
S.
Code should be the only prevailing statutory law enforced by the U.
S.
Department of Justice, and the U.
S.
Congress, or the Legislative Branch of the federal government, should be, according to the Constitution (Article 1, Section 8), the sole determiner of the value of the money that it coins.
If this were the case, and the original U.
S Supreme Court decisions declaring FDR's regulatory agencies unconstitutional were the law, the federal government would be less than one-fourth of the size it is now.
Simple arithmetic does not lie, and is sometimes incredibly amazing and revelatory.
For if 100 non-essential federal government regulatory agencies were abolished, and the many high-paid bureaucrats manning them were forced to get real jobs in the private-sector, more than 700 billion dollars of tax revenue, per fiscal year, could be freed-up for other essential domestic purposes.
Add to this figure a 50% flat-tax on approximately 20 billion dollars of tax revenue used as appropriations for, currently, non-taxable locality payments for federal employees, and you would have close to one-trillion dollars of additional tax revenue every year.
Four trillion dollars in four years is a substantial increase in usable revenue.
And it's all about simply eliminating dross federal bureaucratic agencies, their oppressive regulations, and exorbitant federal entitlement benefits for increased fiscal efficiency in the operation of government.
The smaller the government, the better.
It's just, simply, common sense.
