Something to ponder. US population has increased 85x since our founding, while the people's house, the US House of Representatives, has only increased 7.4x! Yes, that's not a typo. Thanks to a 1910 law, it can NEVER increase in size from the current 435, no matter how big our population gets. So they get us fighting over one seat here or there, when to RESTORE the same level of representation we began with, when we had virtually no federal employees, no income tax, no central bank, etc the number of Representatives should be increased to 11,400 from 435. Do you think we might actually have representation if there were THAT MANY REPRESENTATIVES??
