We should Always promote the general welfare at the expense of the general badfare, the general malfare, and the general warfare.I've only read about 50-60 posts in this thread, so I don't know if anyone else has pointed this out. Its PROMOTE the general welfare, not PROVIDE the general welfare.
just my little $0.02
Per the US Constitution
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
You're ignoring the preamble.
Preamble states that an overriding purpose of the U.S. Constitution is to “promote the general welfare”.
The Bill of Rights has been construed to provide procedural mechanisms for fair adjudication of those rights rather than carving out claims on the government to ensure that individuals actually have any social and economic assets to protect.
That mechanisms are in Article 1. Section 8. that clarify the role of Federal Government.
