I'm not 250 years old but there's nothing the founders set up that restricted people's rights to pool resources for issues of the day. It's just that liberals think they can do it unopposed.
Well, back then, the Founders were generally wealthy, land-owners so they had an interest in preserving a system that suits their needs. I think we need to get away from applying 18th-century thinking to 21st-century issues. There's a lot the Founders didn't envision for the country; like instantaneous communication, fast travel, and routine commerce across state borders. What was true in the 1700s might not be true today. It's our duty as citizens to evolve our thinking. The Founders wouldn't want us to stagnate thinking from 250 years ago. Different time, different problems.
