Just a quick question.....

[WCS Coach]

just exactly where in our constitution is it written that person A owes person B anything because they exist? I'm trying hard to find it but am haven't had any success so far.

I thought maybe there might be a special section describing that the role of government was to provide education, healthcare, retirement, housing, food, childcare, etc.

I'm sure it was just an oversight on my part, so if anyone could help me find that specific section I would greatly appreciate it.

It was called the Farm Act of the 1930s.

US Government puts a "temporary" assistance program in place to help American Farmers.

Once program was over the assistance was taken away.

Farmers complained to their Representatives that they were "entitled" to that money.

The rest is history.

You always forget to mention subsidies for business and tax write offs for business, Tiffs ect. ect. corporate welfare is every bit as big a problem as those that you so detest.

ELIMINATE THAT TOO! No one is arguing some big government is good. National defense and border security should be the bulk of federal spending.

Saxon raiders ransacked my Norman ancestors' town. Horrible tragedy.
The way I see it, I'm due reparations from all Saxon descendents.
Verdict: I want 10 million dollars!....and a jelly doughnut.

$10,000,000.00 YES

A Doughnut jelly filled ? Hell no, I will die first.

No I was not...
Out X-mas shopping with the wife at the time. Do remember the Titans however.

As a descendant of the Saxons who likely raided your Norman ancestors, they had it coming.

Since the bowling geeen massacre occured during the civil war I doubt anyone who survived the damn Yankee bombardment is still alive

What brought that up

I thinks it's called civilization. We have highways. Did you get angry when government $ helped cured polio? Do you begrudge the city paying those silly policemen when you could protect yourself?
Pooling money from millions of people allows the government to benefit us all through economies of scale. Why are you so damn ignorant? Take an economics class. I'm sure we can build bridges between states without pooling $$$$. Right? So stupid. Your greed makes me puke.

Ask Kellyanne Conway. You really are a simpleton aren't you. Ever heard of satire.

You need to use your education for something productive. I'm sure if you dig really deep you can argue without resorting to name-calling, I know that'll be tough for you but I'm almost positive you can do it.

Now let's get back to my original question. Where in the constitution is it written that the governments role is to do those things?

For those of you that have reading deficiencies the answer is nowhere.

The constitution isn't a daily guide to living.
There have been millions of laws passed in every state, county, and town to make this a more civilized nation. There are 50 states not 13 colonies. There are cars, electricity, nuclear bombs, using the "where in the constitution" line is what you say when you don't have a logical argument against something.

Public schools are one of the main concepts that made us a superior country.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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"

So, does Person A owe Person B something? No. Do we as a society ensure a basic standard of living? Yes. Our founding credo promotes the general welfare of everyone in our society.

So because I exist you owe it to me.

That is a L O T of reading between the lines in order to make your case.

 

[Neutron Monster]

Where does it say the opposite has to be true either?

It goes both ways

Try again. That's not what I said.
