Not once does Williams bring up the fact that while the Federal constitution was never meant to support redistribution of resources, state constitutions were not so reticent. There are many things that the Fedguv is doing, that should be state and local option alone.

Or, as James Madison, the Father of our Constitution, explained in Federalist Paper No. 45, "The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. “Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected." I believe he hinted at it here.

I like Williams, because he is easy to understand, even for the laymen.
