While the Constitution does not mention promotion of the general welfare, it ALSO does not mention life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
You think the Founders just wasted all that ink?
And BTW--the Constitution did not mention income taxes until a fraudulently-"passed" 16th showed up, in the early 1900's.
The system of tariffs worked just fine until Wilson showed up in office.
