That's a great ideal to strive toward, but I don't see the case for forcing everyone to adopt that ideal.

- ikeyany 10y agoYou know, you're welcome to live in one of the hellhole countries that don't care about promoting the general welfare. We have that "ideal" literally written in the constitution.
- Jabanga 10y agoYou're also welcome to not respond to me if my views bother you. I'm simply expressing my viewpoint. There is nothing in the Constitution about social welfare programs to provide equality of opportunity. It's all about the "general welfare", which had a distinctly non-redistribitive definition in the 18th century. > it was never meant they should provide for that welfare but by the exercise of the enumerated powers, so it could not have been meant they should raise money for purposes which the enumeration did not place under their action; consequently, that the specification of powers is a limitation of the purposes for which they may raise money. - Thomas Jefferson
- ikeyany 10y agoIt's clear you're expressing your viewpoint, just know that they seem to be in line with sociopaths. Pulling the rug out from under others is right in line with what white supremacists believe.
- Jabanga 10y agoI see advocating force as more similar to the definition of sociopathic behaviour. But I also don't think arguing over which belief is more or less sociopathic is constructive.
- eastWestMath 10y agoWell Western society has, by and large.
