How to Restore Fiscal Sanity to the Federal Government

Constitutional  scholar and radio talk show host, Mark Levin, has proposed 10 Liberty Amendments to restore our US Constitution that has been hijacked by the ruling elite in Washington, DC.  

In accordance with Article 5 of the US Constitution, the states can hold conventions to draft proposed amendments instead of always being held hostage to the tyranny of the federal government.   If three-fourths of the states approve these amendments, the federal government would have to comply.  A Balance-of-Power would be restored to the states that has been taken from them over the last 100 years of “progressive” (liberal) politics that started with Woodrow Wilson and grew tremendously under FDR and was completely corrupted under Barack Obama.

Here are 4 of the amendments that would help us restore federalism and return a balance of power between the states and the ruling elite at the national level in accordance with the US Constitution written by our Founding Fathers and as described in the Federalist Papers. 

4)      Limiting Taxation and Spending: Levin proposes a balanced budget amendment, limiting spending to 17.5% of GDP and requiring a three-fifths vote to raise the debt ceiling.  He also proposes limiting the power to tax to 15% of an individual’s income, prohibiting other forms of taxation, and placing the deadline to file one’s taxes one day before the next federal election.

5)      Limiting bureaucracy:  He proposes an amendment to limit and sunset federal regulations and subject the existence of all federal departments to stand-alone reauthorization bills every three years.

6)      Defining the Commerce Clause:  Levin writes an amendment that, while technically unnecessary, is practically an imperative to restoring the original intent of the Commerce Clause.  The amendment would make it clear that the commerce clause grants not power to actively regulate and control activity; rather to prevent states from impeding commerce among other states, as Madison originally intended.

7)      Limiting Federal power to take private property
