You can tell when Dave is losing an argument. I can just see all the spittle on his monitor.The government is highly efficient. The tax system and disbursal system has very low overhead. Every dollar a charity spends seeking contributions is one less dollar available to the needy
Explain how private charities would handle the devastation of Hurricane Sandy?
Providing for the General Welfare is already in the Constitution
Absolute flat out BULLSHIT.. the amount of bureaucracy and red tape and middle men in the government is ASTRONOMICAL
As for hurricane Sandy.. ask the Red Cross and the extraordinary effort they have in manpower and $$$
And you, you fucking idiotic asshole, once again leave off the entire last part of Article 1 Section 8.... try reading the whole statement and subsequent list of SPECIFIC POWERS which are tied to the charge of the 'general welfare OF THE UNITED STATES' (AKA The UNION, not every fucking individual)
provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States
We the people make up the United States
When the people, citizens, persons, or citizenry is meant within the Constitution.. those words are specifically used.... Words were carefully chosen, wrongwinger
Have you EVER taken a course in US History DD? Such a comment suggests you haven't.
And the United States is not made up of 'the people'.. The United States is the union of sovereign states
Ditto, above and see the 10th amendment the last four words.
And lest ye also forget, that the clause (with the use of the semicolon) came with a list of the SPECIFIC things that they are supposed to provide (hence the enumerated powers)
Try and read and understand, moron... English should be your first language.. not just something you butcher for your own agenda
Government agencies typically have 4-6% administrative costs.The government is highly efficient. The tax system and disbursal system has very low overhead. Every dollar a charity spends seeking contributions is one less dollar available to the needy

The government is highly efficient?
At what?
Private companies typically have 25-30% administrative costs.
The difference? Executive pay.
If charity solved the problem, then it would have already.You are right.. life is not fair.. yet you try and legislate 'fair' into the tax code...
Those with little money in a flat tax system are not making the same contribution.. they are making a lesser total contribution.... but in terms of per dollar, just as in sales tax, gas tax, etc.. THEY ARE ALREADY PAYING THE SAME...
You can't have your cake and eat it too, wrongwinger
Charity is not the job of government... it is the job of the individual and organizations formed voluntarily by like minded individuals
Relying on private charity has not worked since before the Great Depression and it did not work then
Private charity is inherently inefficient since it must expend a large percent of its contributions to generate more contributions. It is also incapable of handling massive loss like we saw in Hurricane Sandy
YES...we do need government charity
What's stopping charitable organizations and churches from obliterating hunger and homelessness?

This seems a clear violation of the equal protection clause. Does anyone doubt it?

If its so clear they should have no trouble winning.
Lets see.. government throws more and more at entitlements, and poverty keeps getting worse...

Hmm... yes.. I have.. numerous classes...
And the 10th amendment....
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.
Now see... it is that STATES that PROHIBIT or limit the powers given to the fed in the constitution.. and the people are mention specifically and SEPARATELY from the States...
You are indeed one hell of an idiot

Then educate me. You quoted the 10th Amendment, now explain with detail what that means exactly and why my comment in context of your earlier post is idiotic. I bet you can't.

Dave, I'm sure you're right that Federal power comes from the states but I read the 10th as saying that the powers come from the Constitution, not the states, e.g.," delegated....by Constitution" and prohibited by it [Constitution]"
Not that its the only source of information on the topic by any means.

You came to defend that the United States is made up 'of the people'... and this is inherently false... as already explained, it was the states that ratified the constitution, empowering the federal government by their charge.. not the popular vote or will of the individual citizenry..
The 10th amendment is very simple to understand.. The Constitution itself is a LIMITING document. Granting specific powers and charges to the federal government. The states are the entities that gave/give the fed its power. The 10th amendment ensures that any power not SPECIFICALLY GRANTED (as in your little pet entitlements are not specifically granted) is then reserved or held by the states that ratified the federal government, and if the states do not wield that power, then the power is reserved for the people themselves...
I.E. There is no power granted to the fed to take care of your individual wants and needs. That power would have been granted by the states to the fed in a specific statement in the constitution. So, at the state level, the individual state's constitution may or may not deal with some sort of entitlement power wherein individual needs are the responsibility of the state under whatever criteria they deem. If there is not a charge to the state thru its own governing powers, THEN THAT POWER OR RESPONSIBILITY SITS DIRECTLY ON THE INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS THE WANT OR NEED.. Otherwise stated they are empowered to take care of themselves

Hitler had no trouble winning, I'm asking if you have a "reason" why the equal protection clause should not apply to the top 1%.
Are you going to make them pay more in the supermarket too??

So, in your opinion the 10th Amendment and the Constitution have been violated by every Supreme Court Decision since and including Marbury v. Madison, is that correct? That Nullification and Secession are legal actions by any state when the state or an individual person decides acts of Congress are not of their liking? Is that correct?
My mother passed away in 2008 and I haven't lived in my parents home since I left for Boot Camp in 1967 - so take your fucking personal attacks and shove 'em up your ass. You're not only stupid, you're an asshole too.
