    Then they would have had to come up with another way of redistributing wealth. Because they clearly believed a more egalitarian society was the best hope for remaining a republic.
    I missed where the founders advocated seizing the wealth of rich people in order to give it to poor people. Which Founder was that O'Keefed?

    You also missed the general welfare clause in the Constitution but that doesn't stop you from railing on general welfare.

    And you missed where I educated your ignorant ass months ago that when the Constitution was written "general welfare" wasn't interpreted by anyone to mean providing individuals with food and housing and healthcare.

    Paying for grandma's hip replacement is a great benefit to grandma's welfare but it does nothing for the general welfare. The Federal government adhered fairly closely to that belief with a few small exceptions for over a 150 years.

    First, ITEP is a leftard organization. Its purpose isn’t education but issuing propaganda for other leftards like hondo to re-spew. Take a married family of four with two kids making $32,000 a year. They pay no federal income tax. They would pay a little social security. They would qualify for $5,600 of earned income tax credit. They would qualify for food stamps. They would qualify for section 8 housing and Medicaid. Yep, they are paying their fair share all right.
