    If Trump funds Medicaid, it must be done by the rule of apportionment

    One of the most important checks and balances agreed to by our Founders is the rule of apportioning both Representatives and “direct taxes”. And the rule was also intended to apply to any money returned to the States by the federal government! This rule prevents the Democrat Party’s “free cheese” crap we now suffer under since it requires each State’s share of Medicaid money received from the federal government to be proportionately equal to it Representation in Congress and/or its share of any direct tax laid by Congress.


    In any event, in support of my above claim [the rule of apportionment must apply to federal funding of Medicaid] see Act of Congress in June of 1836 in which all surplus revenue in excess of $ 5,000,000 was decided to be distributed among the states, and eventually a total of $28,000,000 was distributed among the states by the rule of apportionment in the nature of interest free loans to the states to be recalled if and when Congress decided to make such a recall.


    Perhaps someday in the near future one of our nationally syndicated media personalities will discuss the merits and wisdom of our Constitution’s rule of apportionment.

    Here is how Trump can close down the federal Department of Education

    All that Trump needs to do to help drain the socialist swamp in Washington is to threaten, and carry through with vetoing, any bill which doles out federal money to the States which does not follow the rule of apportionment.

    He should start with the federal Department of Education and demand all money doled out from the federal government to the states used for education must be apportioned as our founders intended, and also demand to have a provision in the bill laying an apportioned direct tax on the states to cover the cost of federal funding of education. You would see our big socialist states like California and New York suddenly crying that the federal government has no business meddling in their State public school system in order to avoid the apportioned direct tax which would deplete their own State Treasury!

    Let us not forget the very intentions spoken by Pinckney when addressing the S.C. ratification convention with regard to the rule of apportionment :

    “With regard to the general government imposing internal taxes upon us, he contended that it was absolutely necessary they should have such a power: requisitions had been in vain tried every year since the ratification of the old Confederation, and not a single state had paid the quota required of her. The general government could not abuse this power, and favor one state and oppress another, as each state was to be taxed only in proportion to its representation.” 4 Elliot‘s, S.C., 305-6

    Why America’s taxpayers should demand apportionment of federal outlays to states

    See Congressional Seats and Federal Outlays

    ”Most Americans know that their representation in the U.S. House of Representatives is based on proportional representation as determined by the decennial Census. And, many Americans are aware that the Census takers try to count everybody residing in the country. But, most Americans do not make the connection that illegal immigrants and other foreigners who are not legal permanent residents are part of the calculation for the apportionment of Congressional representatives. If the population of illegal aliens and other long-term foreign residents were inconsequential, this would not be an important issue. However, with 22.5 million non-U.S. citizen foreign residents counted in the 2010 Census, this is a valid major concern.

    Because illegal aliens should not even be in the country, and other nonimmigrants such as foreign students and guest workers are here only temporarily, it makes no sense to distribute Congressional seats as if these foreign nationals deserved representation the same as American citizens.

    The U.S. population that logically should be enumerated includes U.S. citizens and legal permanent residents (immigrants). As only the former may vote in federal elections, the apportionment of seats in Congress should be done on the basis of the number of U.S. citizens in each state.1 Similarly, apportionment of federal funds should be based on the number of citizens and legal residents of each state.”


    According to Pew Research, California has the largest number of illegal aliens in the United States and they are counted during the census which gives California its apportioned but overwhelming Congressional Representation. But when it comes to paying an apportioned share of federal taxes, its share is far below that which is demanded by the rule of apportionment. In order to make America great again, it’s time to demand that the socialist loving state of California pay its apportioned share of federal taxes equal to its big fat mouth in Congress when spending federal revenue. If the rule of apportionment as applied to federal taxation were enforced as intended by our Founders, California and its Socialist loving Congressional Delegation would quickly learn there is no federal “free cheese wagon”.

    Why do Texans allow themselves to get screwed by socialist California?

    CLICK HERE to study per capita taxes paid by California vs Texas.


    The same statistics can be found at various other locations.


    According to the following, California paid far less than Texas per capita but got far more.


    SEE: Per capita federal taxes and spending -- California vs. Texas


    BOTTOM LINE:**"California paid LESS to the feds per capita than Texas.* California got MORE back per capita from the feds than Texas".



    In addition, under the rule of apportionment California got 53 Representatives while Texas only got 36 Representatives even though it pays more per capita in federal taxes.


    Whatever happened to “representation with a proportional financial obligation’?

    Our Fifth Column media

    I have noticed over the years that our popular media personalities avoid talking about two key issues which made our Constitution possible. The first is the merits and wisdom of our Constitution's original tax plan, and especially its rule of apportionment. The second is the founders’ specific intention to forbid notes of any kind, and this would include "Federal Reserve Notes", to be made a legal tender in payment of debt. As long as we have a dishonest taxing system and corruptible money, our Washington Establishment is free, using these two tools, to plunder the real material wealth created by America’s labor and businesses.

    And with reference to the media personalities I mentioned, this would include Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, Schnitt, Mark Levin, Dennis Prager, Bill O'rielly, Mike Gallagher, Doc Thompson, Lee Rodgers, Neal Boortz, Mike Huckabee, Tammy Bruce, Monica Crowley, Herman Cain, Eric Bolling, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Greg Gutfeld, Dana Perino, Juan Williams, Megyn Kelly, Neil Cavuto, John Stossel etc., etc., who, to the best of my knowledge have never discussed tax reform as our Founders did during the framing of our Constitution, or discussed our Founder’s specific forbiddance to allow notes of any kind ___ and this would include Federal Reserve Notes __ to be made a “LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS PUBLIC AND PRIVATE”!

    When will the American People realize one of America’s most formidable domestic enemies is our Fifth Column news media?
