The general welfare clause is not a power or authority of the federal government. You cannot use it to circumvent the remainder of the Constitution. Further, it is NOT general welfare to tax people to pay for YOUR healthcare.

No, that would be the Democrats.
For what crime?
No, that would be the Democrats again.
That would be the Democrats too.
The Democrats again.

* It is Democrats in the cities that are NOT dealing with mental health care, leaving such people on the street as part of the homeless problem. It is Democrats that passed ACA, a system that massively increases health care insurance costs and made health care insurance unaffordable to many people.
* It is Democrats that want to lock people up even though no crime was committed.
* It is Democrats that is anti-Constitution, and want to overthrow the United States and install fascism by oligarchy.
* It is Democrats that are harping on treason, even though it doesn't apply.
* It is Democrats that are destroying the legitimacy of elections, by hiring illegals and busing them around to vote multiple times, by printing fake ballots that are somehow always magickally 'found' at the last minute, and by attempting to use the court system, the FBI, and the spy agencies to reverse a lawfully elected president, and in the past have assassinated lawfully elected presidents.
* It is Democrats that deny there IS a middle class taxpayer, and who steal their wealth to fund their programs, and who do not care for them any further than their wallets.
* It is Democrats that are pushing same sex marriage, LBGTQ values, theft, creating massive homeless encampments, pushing for laws to allow people to live in their cars anywhere they want, encourage open drug use and the destruction it causes, and have no problem with jailing or even killing people for political reasons.
You are describing Democrats, not Republicans. Inversion fallacy.

The truth might be ludicrous to you. To the rest of us, it's the truth. If you want to pay for your own insurance, don't take the write off. Otherwise, stop squawking about it.

Listing it as an expense is not the same as taxpayers paying for my medical expenses or insurance. Like many things, I don't think you understand how it works.
But, I am used to that
Althea
Althea told me...........
LMAO. I said the govt. pays for your insurance.
But I am used to you trying to change the discussion.

So using your logic the government pays your property taxes and homeowners insurance when you write them off as a deduction is that correct?
Why do you love government so much?

Got to love libertarians who think they are Constitutionalist and that their analysis is some sort of proof.

Althea told me...........
Property taxes are a little different. We fund our local expenses...schools, roads, etc, and the Feds pick up a portion of that tab via the tax credit we take. A business can write off property insurance, a homeowner cannot. It's not a matter of love/hate of the govt. It's recognition that a society functions when many contribute to a pool of money that funds the loss leaders.

You love government. You look to it for everything.
You want it to solve all of your problems. You want it to ease your conscience.
It soothes you. Makes you feel safe and warm.
Admit it
Not if you don't use tax money to pay for the freeloaders that demand someone else fund their healthcare. That's an easy problem to solve.
Why would someone like you that thinks the government needs more money ever take a deduction? That's right, you think the government needs someone else's money not yours.
Yet she doesn't mind taking deductions that lessens the amount of money she claims the government needs. Why are those like Althea that claim the government needs more money constantly looking for ways for less of theirs to go to the government?
Althea
Althea told me...........
And you hate it, but you use it to fund your healthcare. At least I realize that SOCiety is a complex issue.

Since you deny the contents of the Constitution, you obviously have not read it, nor are familiar with any part of its history.
I am making no analysis. I am quoting the Constitution.

You don't understand the Constitution is the point.
You have not a clue. You can quote all you want, but since you are not a legal authority, I will tell you that no one cares.

Republicans and Democrats controlling Congress and the presidency. You didn't know?
Because those are political decisions we have made. We do not have to do it because it is anybody's "human right."
CFM, you're correct. The words healthcare, airforce, electricity, submarine, do not appear in the original Constitution. But all of those words and healthcare do appear somewhere among the federal statutes and regulations that were later passed and enacted or in other manners complied with the U.S. Constitution. Respectfully, Supposn
Ignorant rightys. Universal healthcare will SAVE you money. You will get care and the cost will go DOWN. If we wrap the VA, Medicare and Medicaid into universal care, it gets even cheaper. Other industrial nations have universal care and do it for half the cost., Universal care will take the cost out of businesses and allow them to compete better across the globe. They eliminate the insurance cost and the cost of administering it.
