Right, I'll rephrase. Parks and Libraries are not constitutional rights. It' also NOT a constitutional right to PREVENT government's largess spending caused by the majority wanting to spend the funds on what the minority think is frivolous, unnecessary, and a waste of tax payers monies.
I acknowledged that freedom from city/state government largesse is not a Constitutional right. I never posed a Constitutional argument — so I’m not sure what we’re disputing here.
The fact remains, governmental largesse is a bad thing ... even when it is not unconstitutional. There is a proper role of government, even local government — protection, law enforcement, infrastructure, essential services. Perhaps State and Local Constitutions should be better written.
Playgrounds and libraries exceed that proper role. It is an overstep of government authority to confiscate money by taxation for the purposes of building recreational facilities (it remains an overstep even when dictated by a majority).
