well, dk, things have changed since world war 1, like it or not.
it makes no sense to allow your strict construction position to run you in this direction on questions of social welfare.
at least with guns, i can see why you do it--but on this question--which i expect also extends in its basic logic to objections to national income taxation--you end up detaching from reality.
i suppose that underlying this strict construction business is another position that you've not explained--so what do you imagine the functions of welfare to be? what is your position in relation to it as a way of dealing with those functions? what alternative would you prefer to see?
this beyond the pseudo-legal response above please.
