no----because it is inhumane
Is it humane for people to enter countries illegally and FORCE the native people to pay for the invaders kids?
the issue comes down to .......<are you ready? > CHILDREN ---or, even just
SICK people. We of the USA are a moral people------we do not withhold food or
medical care from the hungry and the sick
Government taking the property of peaceful people by force and "redistributing" is "moral" ? Does theft magically become moral when government does it ?
If "We of the USA" were a moral people then we'd hold government to the same moral standards that individuals are held to but we don't, because we're not a "moral people" , we're a bunch of sheep gorging ourselves on propaganda and cognitive dissonance.
yes-----taxes used to PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE----
is moral and constitutional
LOL, it's neither....
One *might* be able to formulate a credible case that voluntarily giving up one's property to help another (aka
charity) is moral but only in some alternate Machiavellian "
ends justify the means" universe would any rational being attempt to justify forcibly taking one persons property and giving it to another (aka
extortion) as moral.
------as a kid you should have learned the preamble
As a kid you should have learned the purpose and legal standing of the preamble, here's a clue; it's a statement of purpose not a component of the transfer of authority from the states to the federal government; which should be obvious to anyone that pays enough attention to grasp the fact that "
promote the general welfare" can mean anything those in power want it to.
Like I said... a nation of sheeple gorging on propaganda and cognitive dissonance, no wonder the Republic is in such dire straits, if we were a "moral people" as you claimed then there would be no need to resort to extortion to help the truly needy.
