Again, you're focusing on the racism present at the time and not the freedom the constitution gave birth to. I've already stated it wasn't perfect, but to not acknowledge it as a landmark peace of legislation is insane.no, the constitution explicitly makes differences between people (natives, slaves, free, etc.) the amendments brought on by leaders of social change are why we have what we have today.
it may look like i am focusing solely on its flaws when all you do is skim for favorable things. i am conscious of how this country started and what it took for white people to succeed. that is why i view extreme libertarianism and faith in the market as hocus pocus, because it was never instrumental in this nation's success. sorry, breh.
and we havent even addressed the treatment of women...
lord have mercyI agree it was drafted by and for white men, but I don't see how that's relevant.
The cost to make a livingDefine "poor people" and "living wage"
You call forcibly taking hard earned money from one man and distributing it to wherever you deem fit compassion?
You should donate YOUR money if you care, not rob others...Yes, taking a small amount of money (via taxes) from the check of someone who earns middle-class or higher wages to help the less fortunate or provide a public service is wildly unethical.
We should just let those poor people starve since it's their own fault they're poor.
Explain how the racism of the time removes the validity of the freedoms it established(which we enjoy today)...lord have mercy
So everyone should be paid an ever increasing amount regardless of their merit, or rate of production?The cost to make a living

There is nothing to discuss with people that don't recognize the legitimacy and importance of the social contract in developing a functional society. You are wasting your time breh.I don't have enough money to subsidize things like roads and fire departments.
This whole "taxation is theft" meme is one of the stupidest political ideas ever.
One of the least defensible stances on anything I've ever heard. Shyt completely ignores democratic consent.
Given the choice, people would gladly pay taxes to subsidize infrastructure and maintain military readiness.I don't have enough money to subsidize things like roads and fire departments.

It's as if none of you realize the government is in debt and can't afford to care for people... Literally it can't afford to do the things you want it to do...
We can't afford, war, we can't afford entitlements, we can't afford corporate welfare, any of it.
shyts gonna be tough, but it's how it has to be...
