A voice of common sense and reason, how refreshing!

[soundmoneyfan]

I wish it would be Kucinich vs. Ron Paul for the Presidential race. Then it would people who have faith in gov't vs. the people that don't believe in gov't, but the result at the end would be an honest President who would clean out the cronies and end our pointless wars. Kucinichs version of socialism is an honest one and Paul's is an honest free market. What we have now is corporations and Wall Street running our gov't. Obama vs. McCain was Wall Street puppet1 vs. Wall Street puppet2.

Equally distributed health care? What flawed human being would be considered enough of a paragon to be placed in charge of fair distribution?

On the other side, he's absolutely and irrefutably right about the Federal Reserve and the banking system.

i dont agree with slavery in the least bit, dont even agree in immigration laws...these would not be necessary if we followed the principle of the DoI...each man is free and individual to pursue life liberty and posterity...but, today we have government stealing labor from those who work hard and giving back to others for votes...this is not freedom.

Slave is what i am today; 30% of my income gone before i cash my check...then more with sales taxes and property taxes.

[helltrackrider]

At the time of conception of the Declaration and Constitution...in this era, the term "General" meant everyone...as in, 100% of the population.

The General Welfare clause was instituted into the Constitution as a way to utilize the enumerated powers; meaning, every enumerated power listed had to be enacted "generally"...towards 100% of the populous...

is healthcare in there? education? retirement?..no.

these are not powers of the government; although they had illegally hijacked them

[helltrackrider]

pre-1913....also, remove Lincolns tyrant reign from the "freedom" era.

[helltrackrider]

compared to our status as an individual now?

pre-1913.

no income tax except when necessary...in a time of national defense; not to benefit a certain class of people...but to benefit the GENERAL WELFARE of the people...all 100% of everyone in America.

Now, tax the working class and corporations to give to the "lower class"...progressive idea that has ruined America and hence we have SS, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Food Stamps...list goes on.

No individual responsibility any more.

[1stAmendmentChannel]

Right on!

[Squirelbutt]

And what was the founding fathers definition of general welfare. Who was it refering too?

[mchughhimself]

Don't challenge a man who carries a copy of the Constitution in his pocket!

[mchughhimself]

Article I, Section 8 of the US Constitution is:

"The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes, duties, imposts and excises, to pay the debts and provide for the common defense and general welfare of the United States...."

The authors reiterated the quote again in the preamble:

"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...."
