Grievance 49 - Unresponsiveness

The U.S. Constitution created a government that, while made possible by
payment of taxes to it, disallowed the payees from rightful claim to
"surpluses", or any direct determination in what programs their money
would fund.

Unlike responsive businesses that refunded customers who overcharged,
government was not held to the same principle. With no clear
constitutional definition and respect for the source of revenue,
politicians spent surplus funds as they chose, including $70 billion in
the mid-1990's from a tax increase imposed in 1993. Pleas for a refund
were rejected.

While businesses survived on providing products and services that
customers voluntarily purchased, government was not constitutionally
bound to responsiveness, surviving on funds gained by the force of law,
and dictating what programs the money would purchase.

With an AUTHENTIC CONSTITUTION in harmony with the natural
Cosmic Laws of the universe, and producing High Moral Values and
Democratic Ideals, individuals are empowered to direct their percentage
of taxes to programs of their choice, and are entitled to refunds for overcharges.
