In 1913, the 16th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified, giving the federal government the power to levy income taxes on its citizens. The income tax has become a major source of revenue for the federal government, but many argue that it is an unjust and unconstitutional way to raise funds. In this article, we will explore why we should repeal the 16th Amendment and how we could instead use a flat consumption tax on goods and services.

The industrial revolution brought with it rapid advancements in technology and mechanization, leading to a significant transformation of society, the workforce, and economic systems. As we now face the automation revolution, driven by the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics, it is essential to consider the implications of these technologies on our societies, economies, and ways of life. Importantly, we must preserve the principles of individual liberty and consent culture throughout this transition. In a world where people are expected to earn their keep, how do we adjust to an era in which most human labor will be less valuable than a machine’s, while ensuring the liberty of the individual remains paramount?

The United States is often heralded as the land of opportunity, a place where hard work and innovation are rewarded. However, the reality is far from that ideal, with a growing divide between the rich and the poor. A major contributor to this is the practice of corporate welfare, which has subsidized some of the largest corporations in the country, such as Boeing, through programs like the import/export bank. While these programs are marketed as a means of fostering economic growth, they are actually creating a two-tiered society where the wealthy and well-connected succeed at the expense of the rest.

The Educational Association of Worcester and the Massachusetts Teachers Association, two powerful educators unions, are calling for a boycott of Old Sturbridge Village, a popular Massachusetts educational destination that brings history to life in an engaging and entertaining way. This move has sparked outrage among many who value the educational opportunities that Old Sturbridge Village provides, and raises serious questions about the role of educators unions in determining what children are allowed to learn.
