How Government Legally Steals Your Money and Property

If the American people were to go through all the laws at the local, state and federal levels, we would probably find the vast majority violate some aspect of the Constitution.

How could that be?

On the one hand, crooked politicians pass laws, not caring if they violate the Constitution or not. Most who are affected by these laws don't have the money to take on a long court battle to take on this fight, and they are forced to just go along with some reduced sentence.

These laws are then allowed to stay in place and are considered 'settled law'.

Or, some court case makes a decision that slightly violates the Constitution. That decision is then used as precedence for following cases, with each decision getting further and further from the actual dictates of the Constitution. The process is so gradual, we don't realize it until it is too late, and it too, becomes settled law.

Frankly, I think we should go through every single law. If it does not strictly meet the guidelines of the Constitution, it should be declared null and void.

Every future law should be required to point to the place in the Constitution under which it is authorized.

And every bill passed in Congress or state legislatures should be no longer than the length of the Constitution, contain only one topic and automatically repeals any previous law on the same topic. No more having bills reference some previous version 5 iterations back that you must dig through to try and figure out what in the world the new law means.

Every bill must be written in normal language, not legal language that makes the meaning as clear as mud and can be twisted or contorted out of recognition in court.

Every bill, no longer than the Constitution, must be made public for 2 weeks, giving all citizens time to dig through them and do the research needed to determine the consequences of the bill.

Last, but not least, the vote of every representative or senator must be made public - no more of this group 'yea' or 'nay' to carry the vote.
