That is where charity comes in. There is NOTHING in the United States Constitution that authorizes tax money being confiscated from person A to be given to person B as welfare, healthcare or any other social services...
Didn’t realize you were a Constitutional scholar.
It says in the preamble “PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE.” Can’t get much more explicit than that can we?
There is also NOTHING in the Constitution to provide military veterans with job placement, medical benefits, college educations or mortgages either.
Of course, you don’t have any problem with tax money being confiscated from person A to military veteran B for those social services do you?
There is also NOTHING in the Constitution that gives the president the power to make war without a declaration by Congress. That power is reserved for the Congress.
So much for your Constitutional scholarship - and your hypocrisy.
You “fiscal conservatives” and libertarians make me laugh with your holier-than-thou attitudes.
You’re no different than the liberals.
Same coin, just a different side.
“BWAHAHAHA! All the government can give is UNEMPLOYMENT!”
umm that’s the plan. And your taxes will pay for them
“These guys on Wall St are getting rewarded for failure.”
and they shouldn’t.
Yet, they are and nobody can do a damn thing about it.
Obama’s crowd is simply delaying a full blown economic depression.
A relative of mine has been on unemployment for almost two years.
Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I would have taken a job—any job—by now, rather than sit idle for that long.
