I fail to comprehend why you feel that it's the role of the government to play the wet nurse.
At the end of the day, we can just agree to disagree and move on. You're not going to convince me of anything otherwise with your ridiculous assumptions and strawman arguments, so just let it go.
It's obvious that you have zero clue about how economics work, you're certainly not alone amongst liberals in that regard.
Quote:We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
There are couple of things listed before the common defense. Also, there is that bit about promoting the general welfare. Seems to be it was an important thing to the Founders.
But that's just me, reading what the Constitution has on the matter.
