Walk The Walk

»  Comments | Post a Comment

I have been listening to conservative talkers for some time and I am a little disappointed. It is not the talk the talk, but the walk the walk that is insufficient. A while back I wrote to Judge Bork and asked this question, "Where in our Constitution does it give the government the right to take from one and give to another who does nothing to earn it?" The answer was "you have to take it to court."

If the courts declared this unconstitutional, what effect would this have?

Politicians and despots could not use the frailty of humans (the promise of bread and circus) to propel themselves to positions of power.

Capitalism will be back in vogue. Competitive free-enterprise is the backbone of capitalism. Welfare and subsidies distort the operation of the marketplace. When wages or prices go above what the marketplace will bear, then the demand for welfare and subsidies to uphold the high prices and wages are given. (Subsidize housing, unemployment compensation, etc.)
