Who cares what you need? The Constitution insists the federal government "provides" for the "general welfare" of the country.I won't....I need government for the following.,.To provide a national defense. To provide a stable banking system with a common currency. To be in fear of its citizens.Until you do...You're God Damned right it is OUR money. It is NOT the government's money. We earned it.. We should get to keep as much of it as possible.It's the American people's money, and you a-holes need help as much as the smart people who know it's a good idea...and CAUSE the need 99% of the time.He is SPOT ON....Without economic growth to fund your precious social safety nets, we are Greece. And don't you ever forget the fact that the entire welfare state and ll the other wasteful and nonsense garbage the federal govt funds is done so wwith OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY....Run out of that and you get bupkis.
I neither need not want anyone's "help".....
To PROMOTE( not provide) the general welfare of the people....to establish and maintain a a system of juris prudence. To maintain a forum to where the people may seek redress.
To promote commerce. To provide a stable and maintain systems of travel for national defense, commerce and so that the people may move about freely.
Provide and maintain a system of civil defense and warning in the event of an emergency.
Other than that , the government and all of it's officials can keep their fucking noses out of the business of the people.
Now, YOU may want government as your mommy, daddy and baby sitter. The thing is most Americans don't. We want to be left alone. We want to be able to raise our families, go to work, create, achieve and succeed to the best of our abilities.
Are their folks that need the help of others? Absolutely. DO I want those who NEED our help to get it? Of course.
Unfortunately, politicians who feel the need to make a career out of politics have decided over the decades that one of the easiest ways to maintain a seat in government is to give things to those who would then vote for them in anticipation of getting even more.
Now we have over 55% of the total federal budget going to social programs. And less than half of the population pays into the system that funds it.
tell ya what....When government sets in place an enforcement system that over time can catch and kick off every single person that is gaming the system, you can then have all the welfare money you want. Until the cheats and lazy fucks are given the boot, we will continue to fight the current system.
We are now quite through. it's been stimulating I'm sure.
No, it allows the government to PROMOTE the general welfare, not provide it.
