“The bottom line is we’re not broke, there’s plenty of money, it’s just the government doesn’t have it,” Ellison continued, “The government has a right, the government and the people of the United States have a right to run the programs of the United States. Health, welfare, housing – all these things.”

The “Inclusive Prosperity Act” would levy a sales tax on the trading of stocks, bonds and derivatives.
Atlas Shrugged was supposed to be a work of fiction.

You mean the things that the government has no real Constitutional authority to intervene in?

Wow.

A U.S. Congressman who doesn't know the most basic mandates laid out by the U.S. Constitution.

Isn't that like hiring a Major League Baseball manager who doesn't know that if you get three strikes you're out, doesn't know that the team that's ahead after nine innings wins?

I don't even wonder about Ellison. I have to wonder, who on Earth voted for him? And WHY?

Of course not. Everyone has the right to pay for their own housing, medical care and their own "welfare".
