Except when the government mandates you be "neighborly", and to whom.
You’re not being neighborly if you’re doing it with my money.
What the heck does that even mean?
It’s not neighborly to hire thugs to steal from me.
Sorry...I didn't think that my post needed a sarcasm tag! ;-)
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.
"Video — Tim Walz: ‘One Person’s Socialism Is Another Person’s Neighborliness’"
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
What Governor Walz, and probably most other elite Democrats and RINOs, do not seem to understand about the federal government versus the vast 10th Amendment powers of the states to serve the people is this. Other than the US Mail Service, the states have never given the constitutionally limited power (hint) federal government the powers to tax and spend for the many socioeconomic experiments and services that so many voters and undocumented Democrats are now depending on, most federal domestic spending programs based on stolen state powers imo.
"Article I, Section 8, Clause 7: To establish Post Offices and post Roads;"
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Illegals are indeed getting immediate Social Security, contrary to Democrat claims (7.11.24)
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Democrats [and RINOs] Are Terrified Of An Educated And Informed Public (3.12.23)
More specifically, in stark contrast to unconstitutional, one-size-fits-all federal social spending programs based on Congress's abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes), the drafters of the Constitution had left it uniquely to each state to experiment with their own custom socioeconomic programs, partly so that other states can look over their shoulders to identify various state approaches to hopeful remedies for problems that may or may not work for them.
In fact, the congressional record shows that Rep. John Bingham, a constitutional lawmaker, had emphasized that the Constitution's drafters had left it up to the states, not the feds, to care for the people.
”Simply this, that the care of the property, the liberty, and the life of the citizen [all emphases added], under the solemn sanction of an oath imposed by your Constitution, is in the States and not in the federal government. I have sought to effect no change in that respect in the Constitution of the country.” —John Bingham, Congressional. Globe. 1866, page 1292 (see top half of third column)
Justice Louis Brandais had seemingly reflected on Bingham's words when Brandeis introduced his "laboratories of democracy" metaphor to help explain the unique, 10th Amendment-protected state powers to serve the people.
"[...] a single courageous State may, if its citizens choose, serve as a laboratory; and try novel social and economic experiments without risk to the rest of the country." —Justice Louis Brandeis, Laboratories of Democracy.
The bottom line is that the Oval Office is not the most power peacetime office in the land like liberal FN contributors have repeatedly wrongly stated imo. It is the legislative and executive branches of the states who have the lion's share of government power to serve the people.
The bottom line for Mr. Walz is this. The US Mail Service aside, if he really wants to serve the most people that the peacetime Constitution allows anybody to serve, then he needs to hang on his governor's job imo.
Finally, let's not allow the anti-Trump media try to fade our memories of what we witnessed on July 13.
Down the Memory Hole: Google Hides Autocomplete Suggestions Related to Trump Assassination Attempt (7.28.24)
It didn’t and neither did mine, but just in case anyone else needed reminding . . .
Both of them are farther to the left than the McGovern/Shriver ticket in 1972. They got 17 electoral votes.
Lots of neighborliness in Russia, Cuba, North Korea and other socialist countries.
Yeah, every neighbor will be poor and Tim and his cronies will be
rich.
Got it.
“one persons socialism is another persons neighborliness”
What an interesting thing to say....
If I go to my neighbors and threaten them with a gun to take their food I would be accused of aggravated robbery. That’s socialism.
BUT... If I have government thugs do it for me it is neighborliness.
How’s that work???
