Forums - General - Federal minimum wage is unconstitutional

http://chattahbox.com/us/2010/10/04/radical-tenther-joe-miller-fed-minimum-wage-unconsitutional/

Radical Republican Joe Miller goes on to say unemployment benefits, Social Security, MediAid, MediCare are unconstitutional.

The Government should only provide military and police forces with small tax rates. Public spending is a waste of tax payers money and unconstitutional . A lot of reforms and amendments would need to be overturned that breach the original Constitution constructed in the 18th century. He goes on to say child slave labour laws are in breach of the American constitution. 

Should the American constitution from the 18th century be strictly enforced? Do you support Miller's stances on these controversial issues?

did i just read that right?  wow.  just wow.

OT - the constitution (like the bible) should be applied to the current thought with a grain of salt.  there is some great stuff in there but not everything applies exactly as written. 



If he really said that child labor laws are unconstitutional he'll be all over the media, haven't seen him yet but perhaps soon.  He sounds like he has the views of a radical libertarian.  Which are views that aren't inline with mainstream America and are never incorporated.  The constitution is a living document and we have amended it to prohibit such practices so therefore they are not unconstitutional.



Fuck children! They should work 16 hour days and 8 day weeks.



He is crazy. That is to be expected from the limp republican party.

I agree with him.

It'd be an incredible world if the government didn't take 30% of everyones income. Imagine the living standards of the poor and middle class that had far less taxation.

Ultimately, major spending such as the mentioned (health care, pensions, ect) should be dealt with from a state or personal level. Many of the programs the government has that were listed (Medicaid/care, social security, ect) are utter failures, which cost much more than equivilent private programs.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

There are certain amendments that need to be overturned, but not the ones from 1865 onward...

It's so nice that we put folks into Congress who are not familiar with such complex concepts as the Commerce Clause...
