Ode to the Welfare State

For another example of how human nature and politics do not change over time, here is a 1949 example of sarcasm used to vilify the unsustainable democrat economic policy of central government welfare programs....

Unfortunately, democrats misinterpret the Constitution as usual, "promoting" the general welfare (which is what our founding fathers wrote) is not the same thing as "providing" for the general welfare.  It is not the role of the central government to provide charity, it is their role to promote conditions that encourage hard work, reward, opportunity to succeed for all citizens.  Charity is for us as individuals and communities to provide.
