[QUOTE="soonerwings, post: 1618322, member: 8035"] T If you'll click [URL="http://www.archives.gov/exhibits/charters/constitution_transcript.html"]here[/URL], you'll notice that there are only 17 statements beginning with "to" after "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Imposts and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;" What does this mean? It means that Congress having power to laytaxes, provide for defense and general welfare is the first of the 18 enumerated powers. Our founding fathers knew that times change, and provided a mechanism to accommodate change. The fact that people aren't doing something right doesn't mean that it can't be done right. Government in the purest form of the word simply means to "regulate or give order to". Government is not human and is dispassionate. It doesn't have emotion or "hate" anything. "Hate" is a HUMAN problem and not an institutional one. [/QUOTE]
