Founders and lawmakers on duty to aid the vulnerable
William Skepnek argues that the Founding Fathers intended government to provide for the common welfare, including public schools and aid for the mentally or physically incapacitated. He contrasts this with voucher schemes and tax credits, warning they shift costs to the poor and undermine public goods. He cites Supreme Court funding, Gov. Brownback, and Trumpcare as examples, and ends with a critique of Marshall and Scrooge.
