Bill of Rights - Tenth Amendment Rights

What are our Tenth  Amendment rights?

What exactly does the Tenth Amendment say?

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”

 

My interpretation of the Tenth Amendment

The Tenth Amendment is pretty cut and dry to me.  It restricts the federal government from expanding powers to things not specifically assigned them in the US Constitution or specifically prohibited to the states.  It further says everything else is reserved for the states or to the people.  The Tenth Amendment seems to conflict with some of the things going on in government today.

Obama Care is in direct violation with the Tenth Amendment.  How can the federal government take over the health care system when the US Constitution does not specifically give then the right to do it.  I believe this decision to regulate health care lies with the states or the people.  Massachusetts lawfully set up a health care system because it is a state.  The federal government is overriding the states authority to maintain a healthcare system already in place by taking it over nationally.  The US Supreme Court already ruled on this, but I do not see how they missed the Tenth Amendment.  It is very clear in what it states.

Our federal government is expanding very rapidly taking over many things and regulating businesses so heavily it is almost impossible to start up a business these days.  If we keep going this direction we will end up being a socialist nation within ten years.  Our economy should collapse withing eight years if we don’t start making the federal government abide by the Tenth Amendment.  If we, as a nation, do not turn this around soon, it will be too late to get things turn around later.  We will fall over a cliff so steep there will be no climbing out.  I love my country and really hate to see us ignore this restriction, the Tenth Amendment, our founding fathers put in place to protect us from just exactly is happening in our country today.
