It started before 1958. Here is what Thomas Jefferson said about it way back when.

"I see .... the rapid strides with which the federal branch of our government is advancing towards the usurpation of all the rights reserved to the States, and the consolidation in itself of all powers, foreign and domestic; and that, too, by constructions which ….leave no limits to their power. Take together the decisions of the federal court, the doctrines of the President [John Quincy Adams], and the misconstructions of the ….the legislature of the federal branch, and it is but too evident, that the three ruling branches ....are in combination to strip their colleagues, the State authorities, of the powers reserved by them, and to exercise themselves all functions foreign and domestic. Under the power to regulate commerce, they ….call it regulation to take the earnings of one of these branches of industry, ......and put them into the pockets of the other, the most flourishing of all."


[Thomas Jefferson to William Branch Giles, Monticello, December 26, 1825]Report

They knew what is going on today would likely happen. Absolute power corrupts.

yes the Founders knew what would happen when the people gave away their power to the government..you are absolutely right..but the sad fact is more then alot of people have no idea what the founding Dads had to say and even worse, they don't put much stock in their words anymore...BUT if it is on TV and they can see it, well then in some cases it has an affect..thats why these old videos are a good thing...they just might pick up a few things....

but yes, you are right..the truth about whats happening was foreseen at the time of our countries founding.......:(
