The hell it doesn't. It's in the Preamble, right after "provide for the

common defence". It's "promote the general Welfare".


Steve and others think that phrase means "...promote the general welfare
of the rich at the expense of the middle and lower income classes..."

Steve can read, unlike most "Amerikkkans." . promote the general welfare
means letting you do what it right for you as long as it doesn't screw with
others. It doesn't mean PROVIDE welfare for those to stupid or lazy to
provide for themselves.
