Government’s socialist programs are unlawful

In the past century, the United States has adopted socialist “qualities ” that have fundamentally transformed the nation into more of a leftist form of government rather than the constitutional republic as it was founded. This new form that we've embraced is unconstitutional and contrary to the way the country is supposed to work.

The 10th Amendment to the Constitution states: “The powers not delegated to the United States Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” So any power not given specifically by the Constitution to the federal government is unconstitutional. That makes the Department of Education, Environmental Protection Agency, welfare programs and many other agencies and programs unlawful.

Some say the “welfare clause” allows for welfare and government charity. In a letter to Albert Gallatin, Thomas Jefferson pointed out this is not the case: “Congress has not unlimited powers to provide for the general welfare, but only those specifically enumerated.” Government charity is not “specifically enumerated,” so it is not constitutional.

The federal government is limited; its only purpose is to defend the country and protect the fundamental rights of its citizens: Life, liberty and property. Nothing more, nothing less.
