Oh yeah.. Thank God you have to involuntarily contribute to a savings/retirement plan that gains less for you than the common bank account... Thank GOD for a overblown government assisted medical insurance system that is filled to the gills with fraud and corruption on top of the governmental red tape that wastes your tax dollars....
And btw.. national defense is not 'socialist'.. nor are things like currency or a tariff
OK, first of all, I said "Thank God" the services listed were not privatized. I did not mention or refer to Social Security.
Secondly, the reason Social Security is now failing is because:
1. There are too many old people, and not enough young people to keep it solvent.
and
2. The Republicans gutted the Social Security fund.
In addition, I don't know what bank account you can find these days that gives you more than a 1.5% interest. If you can find one, send me a link, I'd love to check it out.
And, finally, the military, by your definition, is a "socialist" institution. It is a service (in this case defense and protection) that could theoretically be provided by the private sector, but is instead provided by the government.
The link itself is to a word for word posting of the constitution.. there is nothing partisan on the site.... it is indeed the first site that comes up when googling the word constitution.. .I reference nothing of opinions given.. only to the text of the document and to the attached dictionary defining terms as used in the document
But nice try... I could have linked to a winger site, quoting all sorts of opinions... but I did not... I link to that site for a word for word resource of the constitution itself
The text of the document is indeed there, and then there are all kinds of links that contain interpretations of what the text says. That is where the partisan interpretations are located. You directed him to the site, and told him to research the constitution, you did not direct him to not look at the links.
