I believe that government is there to exercise the powers they are given by the constitution .... If it isn't expressed in the constitution .... they don't have that power. Freedom is the guarantee ... not equal outcome.I find the viewpoint of libertarians naive. For capitalism to work, we need an educated population taking rational decisions in their own interests. Government is there to preserve a fair distribution of the goods and services in order to promote the welbeing of the population. Failing to do so will only lead to oppression and ultimately in the violent overthrow of governments. That is in no one's interest.
Why should people who are not unwilling to put in the work expect to have an equal outcome?
If they want to take a role that is unconstitutional .... there is a vehicle built into the constitution to amend it. Once you start routinely pushing what is unconstitutional .... or selectively enforcing laws .... You are doomed to being a banana republic and ruled by someone like Putin or Castro or Maduro in Venezuela.
