“Our Founding Fathers did not put ‘charity’ in the Constitution as a responsibility — power — of Congress or the national government. Thus, the entire American welfare system is unconstitutional, and if anyone disagrees, please ‘lay [your] finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents’ and point it out to me. And prove to me that you know more about the Constitution than the man who wrote it. The Founders didn’t put [it there] for a quite obvious reason: if the government starts giving out free money, the lazy, shiftless, and selfish (which is far too many of mankind) will line up for miles to get as much of it as possible.” (10/10/26)
