Steven P. McNicoll wrote: "Werner J. Severin" wrote in message ... Their fair share for ALL programs is the same as everyone else. If they are "unconstitutional, unworkable,immoral programs" then convince the majority and have them repealed. It's called democracy. The Constitution of the United States of America We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Note: "promote the general welfare" The phrase "promote the general welfare" does not mean what you think it does. President Franklin Pierce was confronted with this situation, this is what he said years and years ago... he is still correct today: "I readily and, I trust, feelingly acknowledge the duty incumbent on us all as men and citizens, and as among the highest and holiest of our duties, to provide for those who, in the mysterious order of Providence, are subject to want and to disease of mind; but I cannot find any authority in the Constitution for making the Federal Government the great almoner [one who gives something to the poor] of public charity throughout the United States. To do so would, in my judgment, be contrary to the letter and spirit of the Constitution and subversive of the whole theory upon which the Union of these States is founded...'the powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution nor prohibited by it to the States are reserved to the States respectively or to the people." jay Mon Jan 19, 2004 |
