Your Central Government and VP At Work

This how totalitarians start out. First it’s “Here, have some water” or “You can take your jacket off.” Next, you’re out in the killing fields, transitioning your economic system into a skull-based currency and putting millions in prison.

It’s nice you remember the Pol Pot leftist imposed nightmare.

How do they decide which company who to pick on? Not enough donations to the dems perhaps?

It’s not just my opinion. This is the way the country has been run for decades. Centuries even.

There you go again, making stuff up!

It certainly is your opinion, as well as the opinion of others which, like your opinion, conflicts with the expressed meaning of “general welfare” as stated by the framers and those who adopted the Constitution.

The whole aim of construction, as applied to a provision of the Constitution, is to discover the meaning, to ascertain and give effect to the intent of its framers and the people who adopted it._____HOME BLDG. & LOAN ASSOCIATION v. BLAISDELL, 290 U.S. 398 (1934)

I am not making stuff up, it is a matter of record: the first federal agency was created in 1789. This is the way the country is governed. Nobody seems to agree with you.

You most certainly made up stuff about the meaning of “general welfare”.

And I am still waiting for you to provide the provision in our federal Constitution delegating to Congress a power to enter the states and regulate the business practices and activities of private businesses therein.

Would it not be an absolute absurdity to believe that our founders, and those who ratified our Constitution, vested a power in Congress to delegate powers which it may not rightfully exercise itself?

JWK

What makes a Supreme Court opinion legitimate is when it is in harmony with the text of our Constitution and its documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.

Here’s how Congress sees their authority in the matter under the Commerce Clause:

The discussion was about the false assertion that the general welfare clause delegates a power to Congress to enter the states and regulate the business practices and activities of private businesses therein.

Contrary to that absurd assertion I posted THE MEANING OF GENERAL WELFARE as stated by those who framed, and the people who adopted the Constitution.

Now, are you suggesting that the power delegated to Congress to regulate commerce among the states is a grant of power authorizing Congress to enter the states and regulate the business practices and activities of private businesses therein?

Are you my timekeeper now Karen?

Just putting the pieces together.

Good luck.

My job isn’t repulsive. It is out in the heat. And inside in the cool. Wherever work is being done.

I am happy the government protects citizens from rapacious and greedy employers

Child labor laws and all that clean water regulation is unnecessary

Everyone knows this.

Corporations know what is best for citizens.

I loved working when I was a kid, kept me in comic books and pineapple soda.

If you lived in america without OSHA, unions and other worker protections, you would have been working 12 hours a day 6 days a week.

There we go! The most abused clause in history. Well done!

Well, to be fair, they also mention the General Welfare clause. You’re of course welcome to challenge it in the courts if you think it’s inappropriate.

People did work before 1972. Some of us even survived and got us some of that sChOOlin’ from the fancy teacher learnin’ lady.

Thank you for your opinion.

[bigtwnvin]

Who said your job was repulsive? I directed that at someone else. Know what a digester tank is in a Waste Water Treatment Plant? Try cleaning one of those bad boys in the summer. We’re talking repulsive. Or a sewage tank on a 425’ USCG Cutter in dry dock? Yummy. My point was that a lot people do ■■■■■■ work others would blow chunk over. Then move on to something not so well, repulsive.

Yep. Not what I call them.

Anyway I thought you had a ranch. I haven’t worked with horses and cows since I was a teenager but I’d rather work outside with them than people any day.
