Ahh, we have to resort to patronizing now I suppose. I certainly know what a society is, except I know it only as a definition. There is no such organism as a society, it is merely a description of a group of individuals. This is where you fail in your rhetoric.
Certainly living in America costs money. No one ever said it didn't. However, it's be up to ME to decide what to do with my life. This means that you, or some government agency (also a group of individuals), has zero right to pilfer parts of my life at the point of a gun. By what right does another individual take a portion of my life to distribute to others?
America needs to go back to a pay-as-you-go system of government. You go to court to settle a dispute - you pay. You get convicted of a crime - you pay. You want the privilege to drive - you pay. There is an endless array of government services that can be on a pay-as-you-go basis. But, lets not forget that the proper role of the Federal government which is to defend the nation against foreign and domestic entities that wish to undermine our Constitutional rights.
Least ye not forget that the purpose of the Constitution is to protect the rights of individuals. It does not grant rights, it recognizes them. You may call it whining, I call it Patriotism. Or perhaps you would like to change the definition of stealing and theft. Your screen name fits your argument well - justshutupandtakeit. Well I, for one, will not just shut up and take it when my rights are trampled and portions of my life are pilfered to benefit others. Again I say it's evil and wrong, and I am not my brother's keeper.
Immature nonsense deserves nothing better than patronization since it cannot be taken seriously.
Governments from time immemorial have decided what citizens can do with their lives. That can never change since you have impact on what others can do with their lives. As long as you live in a society you will pay a portion of the costs of that society like it or not and there is no "rhetoric" in that it is a fact.
Pay as you go justice means that the rich and powerful would get away with anything they wish because the poor cannot afford the legal help the rich can. Thus, any rights you believe you have would soon go the way of the dodo should they come up against one who can hire lawyers by the gross. Maybe you haven't figured it out yet but this equalization of power is one of the principle reasons governments were established in the first place. And equality before the law was one of the principle aims of the Founders.
And you are mistaken as to the reason the Constitution was established. It was established to WEAKEN the powers of the States and to INCREASE the power of the federal government. A review of American history might clue you in here particularly of the events leading up to the Constitutional Convention.
Cain also claimed not to be his "brother's keeper" but his argument didn't go very far.
