>>prior to the central bank, they couldn’t just ‘print money’ to pay their bills.

Oh that’s right suuuper genius — prior to the Central Bank, every local, regional, and corner bank printed its own counterfeitable currency. Great Idea. Not.

And after all, Alan “The Wizard” Greenspan’s free market sooo demonstrated it could police itself.

Not.

What is the purpose of government articulated in the American Declaration of Independence?

>>boomers have been tearing down the west pretty much constantly?

Those who can Do, those who can’t Teach.   Which are you, Junior — fixing to lead the proletariat from the Edumacational Farmhouse as you are {cough}.

What of value have you produced in the real world that American children should be taught, hmmm?  "Teacher".  Indeed.

Awe,  those old farts won't fall on their swords so Comrade Breckenridge can have a  job.  Boohoo.

 

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need, that how it goes in Breckenworld, ehh?

“What is the purpose of government articulated in the American Declaration of Independence?”

In the preamble?

“That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed”

“fixing to lead the proletariat from the Edumacational Farmhouse”

No, sir. My aim is to teach them what the Church teaches, and why so that they can understand.

“What of value have you produced in the real world that American children”

I’ve actually taught them about Natural rights, what they mean, that we don’t have a right not to be offended, and that we don’t have a right to be happy. We have the right to pursue it, but that is not the same as the right to be happy.

That rights themselves come from God and not the government, and that the foremost duty of the government is to protect, not procure these rights.

I have taught, that America is an experiment in republicanism, and how that differs from a democracy.

I have taught separation of powers, and the idea that because men are corrupt we must issue constraints on the government.

“From each according to their ability, to each according to their need, that how it goes in Breckenworld, ehh?”

“a general inclination of all mankind, a perpetual and restless desire of power after power, that ceaseth only in death.”
