Might it be that those on the right think that it is YOUR plans which are important and it is not up to the state to plan for you? And that it is YOUR thoughts that matter and that they should not try to impose theirs upon you?
That is called freedom which, I understand, was once held dear in the USA.
That could be it except all those guys in Washington are elected to do more than let freedom ring or whatever. They are there to solve problems.
The right never lays out their solutions or plans...they spend all their time telling each other "the left believes" fairy tales. Its safer that way.
The same way they never have a Tea Party Leader. It allows them to point to the Tea Party as an idea but allows them to never stand behind any ideas presented by them...
Wrong answer there hero, the feds are there to manage a federation of free and independent States, doing only the things the states are incapable of doing themselves. They are not there to manipulate the citizens of those States.
you seem to be confused, first of all, between the articles of confederation and the constitution. secondly, if you actually read the constitution and the case law around it, you'll see that the founders weren't kidding when they put in the general welfare, supremacy and commerce clauses.
so, you're the wrong with the wrong answer there, chief.
