What did our founders really mean when they said “general welfare”?

[TNHarley]

We the People prefer to live in a country where people are not dying in the streets or banging on our doors demanding food.
Where the sick and injured do not go untreated
We are a better country if we take care of the poor, the sick and the needy

How? Our poor sick and needy have iphone 15s. Jordans. Air pods. Flat screens.
The disabled is something different, but subsidizing lazy people is stupid. It doesnt help anything. Grow up.

Another moron complaining that the poor have it too good while we slash taxes on the wealthy

See how it works?
Now you are getting it

Nothing to get.

And as a nation we do a pretty good job. But, when you’re forcing Americans to pay for some that are taking advantage, with the force of government power, that is redistribution.

Oh, “the wealthy” crap….stale…

I dont like the way we treat the wealthy/corporations either, ya binary dumbfuck.
They do have it good. They dont do a goddamn thing, but have nice things. That is having it good.
Me? I work for everything I have. While paying 30 different fucking taxes.

By that you mean not helping poor and struggling families

I don’t want a country like that

Welfare creates struggling families who expect free stuff from the government

I doubt you've ever read the Constitution. You, like all MAGGOTS, just assume it says whatever you want it to say.

The preamble was written for a reason. It is not just 'pretty words', dumbass!

well tell us what you think it says we missed?

I'm at work right now. 31 years at my great job this month!
Thanks for asking, and may God bless you.

No - take your blessing with you. Your god is uninteresting for me. What about if your god will let you live again in the USA and will give you no job but a billion dollars. Do you think this would be a blessing?

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

General Welfare has been interpreted by Congress to mean any pentagon official that asks for a doubled budget and/or unlimited unquestioned attack powers must be accommodated provided the kickback is appropriate to the amount. 10% is the standard cut.

Where does the govt get the ability to segregate? It doesnt.
It literally goes against the BoR.

SCOTUS decision Plessy v. Ferguson

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

You don’t get to decide who or what is wrong. Or talk about entitlement.

What are you? A ruler with absolute power?

Like you want to be?

It helps struggling families to survive
Great Nations take care of those who are sick, starving or struggling

Our founders created a Great Nation

Nope. You've got to EARN IT.
Marxists push DEI.

Fuck THAT noise.

SCOTUS decision Plessy v. Ferguson

PLESSY WAS 7/8 white, whiter than Barbara Streisand. He was a ONE-DROP black, He had to tell the conductor he was legally Black so he could be arrested.

Ahh the decision that got overturned on constitutional merits.

A helping hand or a hammock?

Limit welfare for able bodied adults and their children to 12 months

Makes sense if you have an economy that will provide good paying jobs that people can support their families on.

An economy that has a $7.25 minimum wage will not do that
An economy where a mother must pay more for childcare than she earns will not do that

Do l know you?

The first step is to end the migrant invasion and deport everyone who is here illegally

That will force employers to pay higher wages

Combine that with a time limit on welfare benefits and Americans will reenter the job market
