A man receiving charity always hates his benefactor -- it is a

Starting from this foundation of our constitutional faith
and proceeding to inquire in what part of the Constitution
the power of making appropriations for internal improvements
is found, it is necessary to reject all idea of there being
any grant of power in the preamble. When that instrument
says, "We, the people of the United States, in order to
form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure
domestic tranquillity, provide for the common defense,
promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings
of liberty to ourselves and our posterity," it only
declares the inducements and the anticipated results of
the things ordained and established by it. To assume that
anything more can be designed by the language of the
preamble would be to convert all the body of the
Constitution, with its carefully weighed enumerations
and limitations, into mere surplusage. The same may
be said of the phrase in the grant of the power to
Congress "to pay the debts and provide for the common
defense and general welfare of the United States;" or,
to construe the words more exactly, they are not
significant of grant or concession, but of restriction
of the specific grants, having the effect of saying that
in laying and collecting taxes for each of the precise
objects of power granted to the General Government
Congress must exercise any such definite and undoubted
power in strict subordination to the purpose of the common
defense and general welfare of all the States.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance�not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
