https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preamble_to_the_United_States_Constitution#Text
"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,[note 1] 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."
The people of the United States are required to have government.
Governments have expenses.
Governments require incomes.
They act to have the required income.
To act otherwise is selfdestructive.
If not taxes then other fees.

N.F.L. Week 10 Previews and Picks
The Cardinals will play the Seahawks in a matchup that last season marked a turning point for both teams.
"Patriots (8-0) at Giants (5-4)
4:25 p.m. Line: Patriots by 7
The
Patriots have been a dominant team in the Bill Belichick era, but the
Giants have been a thorn in their side. When the Patriots and the Giants
last faced off in a regular-season game in New Jersey, in 2007, New
England was on its way to a perfect regular season. The Patriots won
that game, but the Giants upset them in the Super Bowl a few weeks later and again in the February 2012 Super Bowl. Giants Coach Tom Coughlin is 5-1 against Belichick.
But the Giants enter the game last
in the N.F.L. in total defense, and one has to wonder if they can
contain an explosive Patriots offense led by quarterback Tom Brady, who
has rarely looked better than he has through the first eight games of
this season. Brady is no doubt licking his chops after watching film of
Drew Brees shredding the Giants’ secondary for 505 yards and 52 points
without being sacked in Week 8. Still, the recently returned Giants
defensive end Jason Pierre-Paul is confident his presence will lead to
some changes.
“They’re undefeated, but they have to come through here,” Pierre-Paul told reporters after practice on Wednesday. “We’ll get to the quarterback. I’m sure of it. I know I will.”
Unfortunately for the Giants, Michael Strahan and Justin Tuck will not also be returning to suit up on Sunday.
PICK: PATRIOTS"

Fear and Friends
The news from Paris
was horrifying, and deserved a break in the usual round of commentary,
but surely nobody who has been paying attention was completely shocked.
We know that there are jihadists out there, and even the best efforts at
prevention will fail sometimes. We’ll have to see how this fairly
elaborate plot went undetected, but really nothing about the story so
far suggests that it should fundamentally change how we see the world.
We also knew that the usual suspects would react badly
— but there, I think, there has been a surprise on the downside. As far
as I can tell, nobody in the GOP field wants to say anything positive
about the strength of Western democracy, or make a remark about the
nature of a cause that has nothing going for it except the ability to
kill innocent civilians. Instead, we have Jeb! insisting that we’re
looking at a plan to destroy Western civilization, and Ted Cruz
declaring that what we need to do is abandon our own scruples about killing innocent bystanders. Seize the moral high ground!
Meanwhile, the Democrats had a bizarrely rational and well-informed debate. By today’s standards, that’s positively un-America----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Psychiatry’s Mind-Brain Problem
Biology, psychology and social forces can all affect mental health."The study, by Dr. John M. Kane of Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine and his colleagues, simply gave empirical support to the longstanding “biopsychosocial” model of illness, which acknowledges that, in ways not fully understood, biology, psychology and social forces can all affect mental health. This model has long been the basis of treatment for experienced, pragmatically minded clinicians."
