HEY BOB – I hear form people on the far-left side of the traditional political septum nearly everyday that the government should set a cap on how much money a person can make. I hear form people on the far-left side of the traditional septum that government needs to promote the “general welfare” or the “common good”.
It is a safe to hypothesize that if you ask twenty different people what is the “general welfare” or the “common good” you will come up with forty different answers. The answers will be so diverse it would seem like your each person would be from a different planet. So why use the “common good” or the “general welfare” if there is no steadfast definition for those two terms.
I would also like to point out that is not absolutely not my responsibility to make sure every child as a place to sleep. It is absolutely not my responsibility nor my fault that some people can’t afford their mortgage. It is absolutely not my responsibility to make sure other peoples children have a good education.
Now before you start typing your Straw man or your ad hominem I would like to point out a couple of things. I used to be on the far-left of the political septum and was for many many years. I am not a Christian so please..if may don’t compare socialism as the government of “God”, since I am agnostic. Don’t call me a Conservative because I am not.
P.S: Is you may, Please forgive any grammar mistakes since I suffer from dyslexia. Any personal insult is not going to effect me in anyway so don’t even try.
Thank you for your straw man answers!
I will say it again. Stop bringing up the “Common good”
Again, Charles Dickens was a novelist. I would rather hear quotes from Noam Chomsky rather then a passage form a novel!
People need to realize that the United States of America is the world’s last great hope for Liberty. There is no other country on Earth that accepts the premise that the power to rule comes from God directly into the hands of the individual citizen who, in turn, lends that power to the Government in measured amounts on election day. As such, all wealth in the USA, is created by and belongs to the People who create or earn it. It is unconstitutional for the Federal Government to confiscate or redistribute it no matter how benevolent that Government may be.
With this in mind, realize how much of an obstacle the USA is to world domination by Socialism. Most other countries are already Socialist and already failing. If not for the Capitalist powerhouse known as America, the Socialists would already dominate the world. That is why Socialists know, our system must be dismantled and the people misinformed about it.
"– that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

They don’t.
Income taxation is tyranny.
Because they have more guns than you.
Want to test it? Stop paying taxes and see where you end up.
Why should you pay money to establishment?
Because establishment is what allows your money to be worth anything. Without government, you’d be crying over your useless college degree as you try to feed your family in a world where the need for fine skills vanished under mob rule, as without a paid armed force and people paid to lead it, that kind of civilized nation died after a completely free of authority upper class decided not to play fair anymore and took all of the worlds resources, causing people like you to fight to feed yourselves and your children day to day.
That’s why you pay the government. It keeps your sorry ass alive and in a plushy lifestyle where you don’t wonder if you’ll live day to day.

they control the armed forces and the law.
It’s really a matter of opinion. As far as I’m concerned, it is your responsibility to ensure all children have a good education and all members of society have the same opportunities to flourish as you do. As a member of society, you share that responsibility – whether you like it or not.
I quote from Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol:
“But you were always a good man of business, Jacob,” faultered Scrooge, who now began to apply this to himself.
“Business!” cried the Ghost, wringing its hands again. “Mankind was my business. The common welfare was my business; charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence, were, all, my business. The dealings of my trade were but a drop of water in the comprehensive ocean of my business!”
The answer to your question can be found in Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution.
Constitutionally, they do not. However, We the People have allowed it for years. There is no one to blame but ourselves for continually voting tax hungry politicians into office.
first off id like to know how many people you know? is this the same rhetoric comming from the same person? because I know a few people on the far left and NONE of them think there should be salary caps. so please, stop trolling on that issue.
If you have dyslexia, did you know that there is a spell checker on YA to the right of the screen? that will help a lot.
as far as the rest of your question, It would seem to be a bit of a rant and less a question. I beg to say that it does not sound as if you do not really want an answer.
