That he apportionment provision of the Constitution be met and that all direct taxes be laid and apportioned by the congress not through amendment. In addition a federal excise tax will more than provide all of the necessary revenues required. The way the tax system is oriented now all of the income tax collected is used to pay the interest on the federal reserve notes. We should also go back on a precious metals standard as it was designed by our founding fathers who knew the full penalty of fiat money such as the Federal Reserve Note. Our government will heal itself if would just let it work the way it was intended to work. Now we have too many incentives for fiscal corruption. We balance inflation by indexing foreign investment notes and causing lesser economies to inflate in order to give the impression that our own currency isn't inflating as fast as the rest of the world's monetary systems. The Federal Reserve Bank is not our friend! Even your own commission has basically hire the fox to watch the henhouse. Sincerely, Dean W. Keenhold Adam Smith's Protégée
