While we're at it, let's repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments and separate the individual from the federal government even further.

Amen to that!

If the federal gov wants tax money, divide the federal budget up by congressional representation and send a bill to the state legislatures. Let them figure out how to come up with it. Combine this with a new balanced budget amendment and we've solved the deficit problem and a lot of corruption as well.

And it's obvious senators shouldn't be elected by popular vote, because they do not represent the population -- the house reps represent the population! The senators represent the state governments and should be appointed by the state governments! Want say in who your senators are? Participate in local politics!
