First and foremost we must we must follow the rule of law. I agree somethings are better handled at the national level. That does not mean the central government should be given that authority if the Constitution does not.
The 50 states could create a way to work together in a fair and amicable way.
They system we currently have is in conflict with itself. I support citizen radio. I think there should be the allowance for citizens to create radio stations within their communities. As it stands now you have to have money and time to own a radio station. That makes radio and TV limited to big business.

While it has been used wrongly in some ways, that doesn't mean your interpretation is correct. In fact it makes no mention excluding the rights solely to taxation/tariffs. In the case of something like Radio waves that don't pay attention to political borders, it makes sense for them to be regulated at the Federal level rather than the State. Unless, you'd rather have to find a router for your network that only worked in AZ...
