lc0149 ::: Favorites Where does it say in the Constitution that the federal government has the authority to regulate and or fund how state and local governments operate their educational systems? Where does it say in the Constitution that you are entitled to travel on safe bridges and highways? Do you know where it says any of these things in the Constitution? Nowhere! 07-08-15 14:18:47 _____________________________________________________
lc0149 ::: Favorites Do you know why we still have all of these public services? We have them because we recognize that they are essential to a CIVILIZED Democratic society. It's the same thing with healthcare. Healthcare is a human right it every CIVILIZED industrialized nation has caught on to that. 07-08-15 14:19:36 _____________________________________________________
lc0149 ::: Favorites Every other industrialized nation has understood that, except the US. All of these services are not just funded by state and local governments, and in fact some of them are not funded at all by such governments! But yet it doesn't say in the Constitution that you are entitled to such things. 07-08-15 14:20:17 _____________________________________________________
dragonlord10 ::: Favorites 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, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. (General Welfare clause). Also firefighters and police are more of a state issue. But you knew that already. 07-08-15 20:25:06 _____________________________________________________
dragonlord10 ::: Favorites Preamble (general welfare for your last set of questions). Article II for your war issue: Section 2. The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States; he may require the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer in each of the executive departments, upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices, 07-08-15 20:27:36 _____________________________________________________
dragonlord10 ::: Favorites Also, taxes for wars:Article 1, Section 8: Section 8. 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; but all duties, imposts and excises shall be uniform throughout the United States; To borrow money on the credit of the United States; 07-08-15 20:30:20 _____________________________________________________

dragonlord10 ::: Favorites The 10th Amendment allows for states to determine what they wish to do. However the state may request for federal assistance at anytime. All the state has to say is no. 07-08-15 20:33:32 _____________________________________________________
dragonlord10 ::: Favorites I recognize the need of the services. However, health care is your responsibility. It is your right to seek out care and it is your responsibility to pay for that care. Sticking me with your bill is not part of the social contract. But then again, you know that. 07-08-15 20:35:35 _____________________________________________________
dragonlord10 ::: Favorites Just because you "read" the Constitution does not mean you "understand" what it says. You are reaching in order to justify why you should not be permitted to pay for health care and why it is my responsibility to be taxes further for your non-compliance of paying your debts. My Constitution does include bankruptcy requirements. So they already knew it was coming. 07-08-15 20:37:42 _____________________________________________________
dragonlord10 ::: Favorites Before I forget, Article 1, section 8 clearly defines the role of the government in terms of regulation of commerce. Which establishes the basis for roads, bridges, etc. Try again. 07-08-15 20:39:39 _____________________________________________________
