"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more
perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide
for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the
Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and
establish this Constitution for the United States of America."
Preamble, Constitution of The United States
"Article I
Section 8.
The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect
Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts and provide for the
common Defence and general Welfare of the United States;"
Article I, Section 8, Constitution of The United States
I have noticed lately that conservatives, especially of the Tea Party variety, insist that any cooperative activity to our mutual benefit is "collectivist," and BAD, even "Socialism!" Paul Krugman has some thoughts on that here.
