The line in the political sand is growing very long...

23. No, your post is nonsense...

Why don't you try reading the Constitution? It creates a government. It does not set up an economic system. How absurd! Narrative? I'm not giving you a narrative. All you have to do is read the document. Just read it. Or even scan it. See what it covers.

Here, I'll give you a head start from wikipedia -- an overview.

The United States Constitution is the supreme law of the United States of America.[1]

The Constitution, originally comprising seven articles, delineates the national frame of government.

Its first three articles entrench the doctrine of the separation of powers, whereby the federal government is divided into three branches: the legislative, consisting of the bicameral Congress; the executive, consisting of the President; and the judicial, consisting of the Supreme Court and other federal courts.

Articles Four, Five and Six entrench concepts of federalism, describing the rights and responsibilities of state governments and of the states in relationship to the federal government.

Article Seven establishes the procedure subsequently used by the thirteen States to ratify it.

Okay? After that we have the Amendments, starting with the Bill of Rights (first 10 amendments).

There's not one damn bit of "economics" in there. None.

AOR, the only place I've encountered your misconception is out on other message boards with conservatives and here at DU with one arrogant Hillary supporter who happens to champion capitalism. One conservative actually insisted that the word "capitalism" is in the Constitution. I was aghast when they said that. Clearly they'd been listening to Limbaugh or one of his fellow rightwing propagandists.

Now, let me also tell you that what our founders did was noble and good. It may look simple and dry at first, but it's ingenious, extremely well thought out, and the best protector of freedom that we have. Get to know it. Honor it.

I suspect you've been misled by conservative pundits. They did you a disservice.
