Re: “In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes”–B Frank
as i stated many times in order to government to do things it must have authority, there is no authority for transfer of wealth, if government wants authority more power it must write and amendment and have it approved for that power.
you cant take money from one citizen and give it to another, in congress duties, what are no social duties involved people personal life's.
government by the founders was created as negative force on society, meaning government is not here to take care of you, if government how the power to care for you, then they have the ability to control you, your rights.
government was not created as positive force, to institute programs, provide a house ,food or water, or pay their utility bills .
now many people would say," oh your mean and greedy, and think only of yourself", and that is not the issue, feelings do not play a part in the law, when government gives to one, it steals from another because government has no money it must take it from citizens by taxation.
the general welfare means, what government does must benefit every citizen by what they do, and stealing does not do that.
So how do we disagree? We seem to agree that it is appropriate to "provide for the general welfare" but such provision must be tempered by the fact that transference of wealth from citizens to government necessarily compromises liberty - hence we must have limits on these government programs. The debate is about how much - what balance do we strike.
