Default Where should our tax dollars be spent?!

We have quite a few interesting threads pop-up on this BBS, and the majority are of us bickering back and forth on how the government spends our money, and how most of the social programs are a waste of taxpayer dollars...


So in essence, where should we tell the government to spend our money, and should any money go towards "social programs"?

Nope, The function of the federal goob is clearly spelled out in the constitution. They are essentially responsible for infrastructure. Not charity.

do you know what we be fun ? We could all get together, much like the founding Fathers did, and Forge a Constitution for a Virtual Hunting.Net country. We could use our current Constituion as a draft, have the sharpest minds here to tweak it, bicker and debate over Amendments and the Why's and How's of how a Govt SHOULD work ........... then vote on it. It would be complicated, highly involved ............ and in the process of doing it we'd learn why its so important and how difficult it is to get things done at that can of level

Tard,

Please define infrastructure in modern terms. Remember as times change, so do our definitions of the terms.

When the Constitution was written, firearms were flintlock rifles...

Breyer and his lefties on the Supreme Court feel the same way. However, Scalie, Thomas, and Rehnquist tend to disagree.

The amendment you refer to mentions only "arms". It never mentions flintlock rifles. The theory was that as long as the citizens of the United States were more powerful than the military, the military would be less likely to turn against us.
