So how is redistribution good for the general population? How is some people getting free money and others not, considered "general welfare?"
General doesnt mean individual.
Welfare is a states issue.
theres no authority in the constitution for the feds to have such a program,,Just out of curiosity, what would you consider the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program? They give out free formula and groceries in the form of fresh fruit and veggies, as well as dairy products and bread for women to eat healthy during pregnancy and the formula for the infants to be healthy. You only get to enroll in that program if you are at very low income levels.
Incidentally, most E-5 and below in the military qualify for that program. I know I did, and I know I used it to help make ends meet while I was serving. Helped a lot!
are you going to show where in the constitution that authority exists or not??The rich benefit off us. We benefit from them too but they really benefit from us. They make, we work for them and buy from them.
Every great country in the world has social safety nets. The rich pay for those. They don't benefit from them but they pay for them. Why? Because they benefit so much from doing business in America. If you want to do business here you have to pay your taxes, which are progressive.
I don't know how to answer your question.
I admit I dimwittedly did what you are saying. I certainly didn't do it on purpose. Ignorantly innocently did it.
I tend to think of welfare as cash/fund programs like TANF, not food supplement like WIC or SNAP. That is my opinion.Just out of curiosity, what would you consider the WIC (Women, Infants and Children) program?

Only retards compare govt force to willful kindness.
None of that is relevant to the issue we are discussing.The rich benefit off us. We benefit from them too but they really benefit from us. They make, we work for them and buy from them.

Charity is about an individual giving to a certain group of people. What do you think?I'm not comparing.
Is giving to charity in the best interest of the general welfare yes or no?
You said taking from one and giving to another isnt in the best interest of the general welfare
The reason it's in the best interest of the general welfare is because if not forced you wouldn't give. And that is not in the best interestof the general welfare.
Here's how. If we had a flat/fair tax system, we'd have a small rich ruling class. A small merchant class and the masses would be consider the rabble. This is what Republican or Libertarian policies produce.So how is redistribution good for the general population? How is some people getting free money and others not, considered "general welfare?"

No, they shouldnt have. The fed govt doesnt have the constitutional authority to help places. Especially not ones that arent even a state!Who paid for the wipes Trump gave away in Puerto Rico?
You say USA shouldn't have helped?
You didnt answer the question, did ya?You asked how is redistribution good for the general population?
Isn't that why we have a progressive tax system?
are you going to show where in the constitution that authority exists or not??
To many times money and resources do not make it to the general population. Trump knew that with regards to Puerto Rico. All of those islands and that one has had a sugar daddy send libations for many decades and longer. A rickety electric and water system is suspicious. Corruption for the privileged.Who paid for the wipes Trump gave away in Puerto Rico?

Was that the same court that said the US government had the authority to American citizens into internment crimes without committing crimes?Helvering v. Davis, 301 U.S. 619 (1937), was a decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that held that Social Security was constitutionally permissible as an exercise of the federal power to spend for the general welfare and so did not contravene the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
Now I'm sure you can get Clarence and the other nuts on the Supreme to overturn this decision but until then.....
so its not in the constitution,,Helvering v.

key word is "GIVING" not taking by force,,I'm not comparing.
