Of course there are, but that's not the question.

The question is stupid.

As if there were an alternative.

Anyone who deposits money in their bank account demonstrates implicit trust in the FDIC.

Anyone who drinks a glass of water today demonstrates implicit trust in the EPA.

The list could go on for pages...

All of that and more exactly, the people who voted NO are trusting the government everyday, so I'd say the poll is a fallacy.

Hello? Is this the sign up for a audit thread? Oh well i voted no anyways. I guess i need to get ready for my irs letter. I wonder if any republican can claim discrimination when audited for the forseable future?

I bet we can all guess who voted yes.... the same clowns who believe everything the state media tell them without question.... Emerald City Wanderer, Tempest68, Urbanlife78, Chris from Chicago, etc.

You know the follow the leader types on here

As for me, no, I do not trust the Feds at all

Lets get back to our constitutional roots.

The Constitution most certainly does not consider them "independent".

I give you this:

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

No State shall, without the Consent of the Congress, lay any Imposts or Duties on Imports or Exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection Laws: and the net Produce of all Duties and Imposts, laid by any State on Imports or Exports, shall be for the Use of the Treasury of the United States; and all such Laws shall be subject to the Revision and Controul of the Congress.

No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.


Would you mind telling me how that makes states independent to do whatever the hell they want?

What are you smoking?

The word "sovereign" is not in the Constitution. So is a US State subjected to the rulings of the US Supreme Court? Is a US State subjected to the laws of Congress? The US states are not "independent".
