Whether it’s cap-and-tax, employee “free choice”, nationalizing healthcare, creating union ownership of GM, or conducting a money-grab of the banking industry, it is clear that our liberal Federal government is taking unprecedented steps at infringing upon the sovereignty of states and completely ignoring the 10th amendment.
According to our Constitution…yea, that thing that’s frequently ignored…Amendment X says:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people.”
Irony of ironies, despite the actions of our noble leaders in Congress, a new poll things our Federal government should stuff it.
A majority of voters indicated that the federal government is overreaching – with 54 percent of voters saying the federal government is doing too much. This is a clear reversal in public opinion and in stark contrast to the 51 percent saying the government should do more in February of this year. By a substantial margin – 69 percent to 21 percent – voters would like their state government to take the lead in policy-making. On the issue of health care, 72 percent favored the health care reforms that are being implemented on the state level and prefer the state-level approaches over the proposed federal health care solutions by a substantial margin to the Obama health care proposal.
