General welfare of the country? Yes. Individual welfare of persons? No.

There is nothing in the Constitution that stipulates providing for the welfare of individuals.

Your peddling propaganda.

We (the Tea Party Republicans) LOVE the Constitution, and are working to restore Constitutional government.

It is the "Progressives" that hate the Constitution, because it is a stumbling block to their agenda.

Quit lying!

Right, and notice how these people will not reveal their identity. No profile.

This person will have a hard time convincing anyone that the 'Tea Party' hates the Constitution when speech after speech by 'Tea Party' supporters talk about the need to get back to our founding principles and Constitutional government.

One dollar = one vote is not a new idea. Why do you think we have a Senate except to provide the owner class a proper privilege in our lawmaking process.

Well, in the first place you are lying about who this guy is. Secondly you are claiming that this man's views represent the views of Fox News and the 'Tea Party.'

You're a liar and a deceiver, just like every other Leftist.

14th Amendment:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article

States nothing whatsoever about the right to vote for those who receive public assistance and/or do not pay federal income tax.

15th Amendment:

Section 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
Section 2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.

States nothing whatsoever about the ability to restrict votes based on the fact that one receives public assistance and/or does not pay federal income tax.
