    You need someone's help. You can read but you do not understand. It is that simple.

    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Starting and running a business is an individual right.

    At the time of the founding, all states allowed slavery. To use the example that a thing, a wrong thing, has been in common practice for a long time does not make that wrong thing any less wrong.
    A couple of restrictions on corporations at the Founding were that corporations were chartered for a specific purpose (i.e. no conglomerates) and for a specific period of time, usually 25 years.

    That is probably a good thing. If you start debating with yourself in public, people will look at you funny.

The answer is not simply repeating declarations of what is or what ought to be but a developing a reasonable plan to get there. We can't go back but we might, reasonably, assuming we once had what ought to be, look to the past for how we lost it, and gain insight how to return to and preserve what ought to be.

    All true.
