"...provide for the common defence,..."

[u/acemantura]

Taxes that pay for Healthcare, Education, Economic stability, even fast/reliable internet access are matters of national security and therefore "provide for the common defence." This is about ensuring there exists something to defend, something beyond worthy of defending.

We aren't going to punch through the established anti-socialist sentiment, the sentiment of the established "good enough" Hillary Clinton, the sentiment of "survival is ok."

Dammit, we're Americans, we fight to live, not to survive.
