Charitable Giving United States

Question: In the US, is the concept of a welfare state supported by the Constitution?

The Constitution specifically defines the limits of the Federal powers as given up by the states and the people. The 10th Amendment clearly states that what powers are not defined in the Constitution belong to the states or the people. So, is welfare – social security, medicaid, medicare, welfare, etc constitutional?

“The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government.” – James Madison

“I feel obliged to withhold my approval of the plan to indulge in benevolent and charitable sentiment through the appropriation of public funds. … I find no warrant for such an appropriation in the Constitution.” – Grover Cleveland

“The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience.” – Albert Camus

Answer: The social programs that were instituted by FDR were in no way supposed to become the anchor around our necks as it is today. We have created a race of slaves with these programs and the democrats will never give up their ownership of the slaves.
