Everyone understands that Socialism is not Communism, right?

The Constitution does not allow tax for those things? General welfare clause?
General welfare does not mean socialism, Pretender.
The General Welfare clause is not a constitutional authority. It does not grant any capability to ignore any part of the Constitution, including Section I.
 
You do not believe education promotes the General Welfare of the people?
Irrelevance fallacy.
"The terms 'general Welfare' were doubtless intended to signify more than was expressed or imported in those which preceded; otherwise numerous exigencies incident to the affairs of a Nation would have been left without a provision. The phrase is as comprehensive as any that could have been used." Alexander Hamilton

Jarod Puppy, there's a reason the country went 200 years without a Dept of Education. Education was/is a state right/responsibility.
Now, when the Dept of Ed was created, America was #1 in the world for education, and it's gone downhill ever since. :palm:
 
"more than was expressed or imported in those which preceded;"

The Supreme Court agreed with me.

Did they?

We've proven you know nothing of Marxism and lack the educational basis to engage in reasoned debate.

We have also seen you lack even a high school knowledge of basic law. You're just a blowhard, Jeri.
 
The operative 'thinking' on the Left about making Socialism, or Communism, work is that they can somehow convince nearly everyone to become altruistic.

al·tru·ism
[ˈaltrʊɪz(ə)m]
noun
altruism (noun)
  1. selfless concern for the well-being of others, without care for one's own interests; unselfishness

They somehow convince themselves that they, by rhetorical and use of government, get everyone to do things for others at the expense of their own wellbeing. That defies human nature. People tend to be greedy and selfish. They want 'stuff' for themselves and they sure as hell are not about to willingly and freely work hard and see the results from that given to others, particularly someone who is lazy and not contributing.

This inevitably results in government becoming a brutal dictatorship that forces society to do what they refuse to do willingly. The Left sees this as just an intermediate step until people wise up and recognize the great benefits of giving their shit away to people they see as worthless.

Socialism is the economic system championed by the lazy and stupid, as well as the most greedy and dictatorial in a society. Normal people, everybody else, sees this as an asinine strategy to fuck them over and want no part of it.
 
It does not say they must, but it is allowed to if they pass legislation. Because the Fed can provide for the general welfare.
it says any powers not granted to the fed revert to the state. There is no reason for a dept of education. On top of that the fed does very little to provide for t he general welfare.

Agreed. The Dept of Education has not educated a single student.
