@josie I don’t disagree as far as you go, but I think the founders would say the poeple have a right to define what their entitlements are. To that point, I copied as much of the Declaration as I did specifically to get the line:
”...laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Although YOU may not agree, certainly most people agree that some level of social support is the “most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.” Whether that takes the form of public roads, public schools, public health care, public paramedic units, bread lines, civil courts or police departments depends upon the times and the view of the individual. But pretty clearly, the founding fathers thought some of that would happen.
And my guess is you do too. It’s just that what you think is “natural” may be different from what other people see as “natural”.
