If you think the US Congress and senate cares about the Constitution or the people of this great country please allow me to enlighten you.
As I write this article, members of both the Senate and House are behind closed doors debating on how best to put the healthcare bill over on the American people.
They are in the process of making under handed concession to the unions and special deals with individual congressmen and states. We the people, who they supposedly represent, have yet to be allowed to even gaze at a rough draft of this document. However it appears that, Obama, Pelose, Reid and the rest of the congressional Democratic herd, Have forgotten about one little thing. Just one. Its called the Constitution of the United States of America or to be more precise the powers granted to the Congress under section 8 paragraph 1 of that document.
I think you’ll find this a great little tidbit of information.
Constitution of the United States of America
Section 8 - Powers of Congress
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Impost and, Excises to pay the Debts and provide for the common Defense and general Welfare of the United States; but all Duties, Impost and Excises shall be uniform throughout the United States;
Let me give you some Definitions first
Excises : An excise or excise tax (sometimes called an excise duty) is a type of tax charged on goods produced Within the country
Impost : (Government, Politics & Diplomacy) a tax, esp a customs duty.
Did you see anywhere in this paragraph where it says that unions should be exempted?
I didn’t !
Does it say that there should be exceptions for certain states, Congressmen or Senators?
Nope not there!
Obviously the Democrats think they do, or could they just be conveniently overlooking this for some unknown reason.
I want to know what you think. Send me your comments
I hope in some small way I've helped you see just a little more clearly.
Good day
Charlie
