Its not yours to give away.

Do you doubt that the representatives of the people would vote to give money to these unfortunates?

Do you doubt that the American people, were they able to vote, would overwhelmingly support helping these poor people?

Don't worry. I'm giving personally. But I support utilizing tax money for this purpose as well.

Since 70% of the other bills the congresscritters approve are un-Constitutional I do not doubt it at all.

A couple of glaring problems with this argument: (1) this is not a democracy. (2) by definition one half of the population is of below average intelligence. Further, damn near all of them are poorly educated and uninformed. Bottom line is I truly don't give a rip about the opinion of the great unwashed.

Ever heard the term "tyranny of the majority"?

If so can you define it?
