Look man, everyone can have their perfect world wishlist, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. Taxes and the Post Office are written into the United States Constitution, so there’s no getting around either of those for the time being.

So is “shall not be infringed.” Most things are fungible. Progress is a constant battle.

Yeah, but that was an amendment. This stuff is in Article I.

Also, the “shall not be infringed” part comes after the “well regulated Militia” part so you don’t get to just cherry-pick the words you like.

The Constitution doesn't require Congress to establish a post office; it merely grants them the power to.

And they did. It would probably take an amendment to abolish it. Good luck getting that ratified by two thirds of the states.

No amendment would be required. The Post Office was established by an act of Congress. An act of Congress could abolish it.

Glad they’ve never had the power to tax all Americans on everything they bring in… even if they allow the IRS to mislead most through deceptive wording! #nonresidentalien FTW 🤔😉😁
