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...
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.
Libertarianism is about liberty and freedom from force. Capitalism is seperate. It's promoted by libertarians because it's based primarily on voluntary interaction, not force.
Also the market economy not being a key to our success as a nation is wholly false.


I'm talking about what it meant to humans, and your talking about what it meant specifically to blacks and women at the time.
I agree it was drafted by and for white men, but I don't see how that's relevant.



The restraints it put on power alone make it probably the MOST instrumental part of Americas rise...

:ohhh:You call forcibly taking hard earned money from one man and distributing it to wherever you deem fit compassion?




:wow:


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.

You should donate YOUR money if you care, not rob others...

The cost to make a living
So everyone should be paid an ever increasing amount regardless of their merit, or rate of production? :snoop:


Do any of you realize you are dooming more of us to no job, by asking for these increases?
You literally want everyone to be poor together living off of the state, rather than have a poor class of people, who live better lives than the middle class in other nations... :snoop:


Socialism hasn't changed a bit. :deadrose:

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. :stopitslime:


One of the least defensible stances on anything I've ever heard. Shyt completely ignores democratic consent.

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.

Given the choice, people would gladly pay taxes to subsidize infrastructure and maintain military readiness.
It's when you pass the money along to another person, that the convo changes.
I'll pay to drive on a paved road... Paying for some else to live, while a good thing, isn't something I want to do. I have a rough enough time supporting my own family.
You're basically trying to make a$$holes be "good people". I disagree with this completely.

:mindblown: 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...
