Oct 2017

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, 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

Somehow, we tend to overlook that part about general welfare.

And by welfare I don't mean dole out money per-se, I mean make sure that people stay healthy and prosper.

The whole purpose of this union is to look out for each other and help each other out.
