Most people today think the federal government is operating in accordance with the constitution. Recently the supreme court ruled Roe vs Wade unconstitutional because the constitution gave the federal government no express power to make abortion the law of the land. The Implied power excuse was not used by the court. Any power not granted to the federal government must go to the states. The tenth article of the bill of rights says that any power not specifically given to the federal government by the constitution must go to the States. If this is true of Row vs Wade then it would also hold for any other things the federal government has taken upon itself to make national law. Things like social security, medicare and medicaid are unconstitutional for the same reason as Roe v Wade because the constitution does not give the federal government the power to establish a national retirement program or health care program. The constitution gives the federal government the following powers; Taxing, borrowing money, printing or coining money and controlling the value of money, regulating commerce, the U.S. mail, declaring war, raising armies, provide for defense and promote general welfare. These are called enumerated powers and are explicitly listed in article 1 section 8 of the constitution. Many say the constitution grants implied powers that gives congress the ability to institute things like the federal reserve but nowhere does it say this in the constitution. The politicians use the phrase "necessary and proper" to say that federal government can basically rob the powers that belong to the states in the constitutions tenth article. The federal reserve was created by congress in 1913 by a simple up or down vote that gave control of the nations money supply to a group of private bankers but according to the constitution congress cannot delegate powers given to it by the constitution to some other entity, for example congress cannot vote to make the governor of Florida the commander and chief of the nations military because the constitution gives that power to the president. The only way the constitution can be changed is by an amendment that requires a two thirds majority of both houses of congress or by two thirds of the states.
What our federal government is today is nothing like what the founding fathers designed. Politicians in congress have over the years butchered the constitution to give themselves more power. Today the federal government basically blackmails the states by withholding money from them to bend them to their will. This money belonged to the states but congress controls how it is distributed. Haven't you ever wondered why the states have many of the same departments as the federal government; education, treasury, transportation, justice, agriculture, health and human services. These departments do receive some state funding but also rely on federal government support. The federal government has it fingers into everything but according to the constitution has no authority to do so.
What this shows is that your voting means nothing in the long run of things because the federal , state and local governments are all in cahoots with each other to control just about everything in the lives of the citizens. Changes have been made without the process prescribed by the constitution to the constitution.
There is a very intelligent man by the name of Mark Levin on the Fox News channel who has a program called "Life, Liberty and Levin" and I would highly recommend that you tune in to watch. Levin is an expert in the constitution and explains how modern government is nothing like the founding fathers intended. While I am apolitical and do not take part in politics I do watch what is going on because as I sojourn in this land and it can effect me. If I feel threatened by government I will pray to GOD to intervene to stop it. Voting won't change anything because once governments gain power they do not want to give it up.
