Why doesn't the corporate controlled media disclose that Republican ideology is unconstitutional? - ideogenetic - 11-27-2012 06:32 AM
Where in the U.S. Constitution can be found the Republican notion that markets will regulate commerce or promote the general welfare?
In fact, the document explicitly states the People's branch, the Legislative branch, of the U.S. government has the exclusive authority to regulate those important social spheres of American life. And the government can raise and collect taxes, or borrow money on the credit of the U.S., to do so.
See Article I, Sec. 8 of the U.S. Constitution for the actual text.

The Constitution is a piece of paper.

While it's sad that anyone can ask rhetorical bs questions on here, I suppose that they need to be rebutted.
It's the usual tactic of leftards to use straw men in their attacks on Republicans. This is a case in point. There is no Republican Party platform that states that the US Treasury can not raise money for via taxes. In fact, under EVERY Republican president, the tax revenues to the federal government INCREASED. So, while it may be difficult for you to comprehend multisyllabic words I'll say it slowly and in monosyllabic words for you: What you said is not true. Try not to drool on yourself while contemplating that.

They use the Constitution like the Bible: quote it selectively out of context.

You need to take a class in economics and learn to place things in their proper context.

You have a very weak understanding of the constitution. The legislature has the power to regulate interstate commerce but these powers were limited by other parts of the constitution. As far as taxes go the Income tax was never authorized. Any progressive tax is unconstitutional.
The constitution’s enumerated powers presupposes something not enumerated. The very fact that the Constitution designates a particular power to Congress, means automatically that the Constitution intended specifically to forbid what it does not designate. This limited power perspective is key for properly interpreting the Founder’s intent regarding the federal regulation of commerce among the states — if anyone doubts this limited federal power standard then they need look no further than the Tenth Amendment for an explicit statement acknowledging that the states and the people retain extensive power.
