Default Where does it say in the constitution that there should be a cap on corp earnings?

I was thinking this morning about the evil corporations in this country and pay large salaries to CEO's. Since when is this the business of goverment?

Where does it say in the Constitution that there should be a standing Army in the absence of a declered war?
Where does it say in the Constitution that the government should regulate what defines marrage?
Where does it say in the Constitution that there should be laws about the disposal of the flag ?
Where does it say in the Constitution does it say the SCOTUS can create a new law to over rule a state supreme court ?

Most important...why are right wingers such false patriots, and such vile Hypocrites?

A standing military is just common sense.

I have no problem with gays being allowed to marry it is a state issue not a Federal one.

I think that respect to the flag is also one of pride and common sense.

In regards to the Supremes saying what is un constitual is part of being an American and part of this country.

Rob give it up when it come to her, she does not want common sense law's she hates the fact that some of us agress's with the fact the Big Business produces job's and we know that. She thinks the government should baby us, she thinks only her type is right and knows what's best for all of us. She hates the fact that there is two side to every story, she is afraid to admit that. She is a weak and very insecure Ultra- liberal like most are.

So you OPPOSE the federal ban on gay marrage eh?

Again, you have negated your own constitutional argement

Get it right Rob, in Bush v Gore, they did not simply say what was un constitutional, they created NEW LAW,the same judicial activism you whine about from the left.

My point stands, your regrad for the constitutioinis is at best, selective, and your leaning on the constitution selectivgly, is hypocrisy

The fact that only only specific job assigned to the President, by the Constitution, is "Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy" kind of speaks volumes in that regard.

No, it does not

"The supremacy of the civil over the military authority I deem [one of] the essential principles of our Government, and consequently [one of] those which ought to shape its administration." --Thomas Jefferson: 1st Inaugural, 1801.

"The freest governments in the world have their army under absolute government. Republican form and principles [are] not to be introduced into government of an army." --Thomas Jefferson: Notes Concerning the Right of Removal from Office, 1780. Papers 4:282

"[A commander who conducts a] great military contest with wisdom and fortitude [will] invariably [regard] the rights of the civil power through all disasters and changes." --Thomas Jefferson: Address to George Washington, 1783.(*) Papers 6:413

"Instead of subjecting the military to the civil power, [a tyrant will make] the civil subordinate to the military. But can [he] thus put down all law under his feet? Can he erect a power superior to that which erected himself? He [can do] it indeed by force, but let him remember that force cannot give right." --Thomas Jefferson: Rights of British America, 1774.(*) ME 1:209, Papers 1:134

"No military commander should be so placed as to have no civil superior." --Thomas Jefferson to Samuel Smith, 1801. FE 8:29

Sorry dirtbag, but it does: Article II Section 2 - The President shall be commander in chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the militia of the several states, when called into the actual service of the United States...........

Now you can quote Jeffersons letters all day, (he was but ONE of the authors) but I'll stict to the wording of the constitution. Not something written 40 years later.

The average CEO makes about $150,000 a year.
This is a disguised effort to attack and/or eliminate the middle-class.

So where is the provison stating there is to be a standing army in peacetime ?

Are you admiting that there is no such provision ?

I think you are, which is good, because no such provison exits.
There is one however, for a standing Navy.
The "Army" mentioned in Article II Section 2, is in nthe event one need be raised.

Any sixth grader knows this

Didnt they teach you that during theb 30 days you were in boot camp, before they sent you home ?
