I don't dispute teh 16th Amemdnment gives the Federal Government the right to take my hard earned money. What gives them the right to give it to somebody who didn't earn it?
Well, I support the 2nd ammendment. I also support the 9th and 10th as well, which in case you forget state:
Amendment 9 - The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
Amendment 10 - The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
So which of the emumerated powers in the U.S. Constitution give Federal Government the power to redistribute individual wealth, provide for individual education, provide for individual welfare and security?
Oh, and what about the 5th?
Amendment 5 - No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Why is it that the unborn are deprived of life without due process?
Nope, ACLU didn't go far enough... the whole country is a Constitution Free Zone.
