To echo what Kchishol said: "An example of the complete partisan ignorance of the proper role of government as a proper regulator of business in action." And to add...this has zero to do with liberty or individual rights. The only thing this would do would be to give Big Business MORE power...and further threaten the rights of the individual. This is the big secret that most Libertarians don't want to admit. In theory, true Libertarianism is the ultimate excuse for business to trample all over the common man.

"Section 1. The Government of the United States shall not engage in any business, professional, commercial, financial or industrial enterprise except as specified in the Constitution. Section 2. The constitution or laws of any State, or the laws of the United States shall not be subject to the terms of any foreign or domestic agreement which would abrogate this amendment. Section 3. The activities of the United States Government which violate the intent and purpose of this amendment shall, within a period of three years from the date of the ratification of this amendment, be liquidated and the properties and facilities affected shall be sold. Section 4. Three years after the ratification of this amendment the sixteenth article of amendments to the Constitution of the United States shall stand repealed and thereafter Congress shall not levy taxes on personal incomes, estates, and/or gifts." ... seems a bit extreme, even for me -- taken literally, section 1 would mean that new public works projects would be rejected -- no more interstate highways, no more fiber optics for expansion of internet services, etc ... section 3 would dissolve several minor branches of the United States government ... section 4 should be rewritten to include a 1% flat tax on all transactions -- which would be enough to fund the government's activities, if a small government is the desired objective ...

Haha, silly libertarians. Just admit it, you want to own slaves again, don't you? Greedy old white men.

I basically agree but don't see this happening any time soon.

This has nothing to do with liberties and the protection of constitutional law or the rights spelled out there in.
