Congress's first priority must be the general Welfare of all the People. :::::::: The way I read the Constitution it starts with: “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 of America.” I do not see in the Constitution anything about a Super People (Corporations) which can trump the general Welfare of the rest of the people. Yet according to the Tuesday, May 13, 2008 edition of the New York Times, Congress thinks that it is necessary to exempt menthol from being banned from cigarettes because it has an adverse effect on the profits of the cigarette companies. Never mind that it might be a factor in the high cancer rates in African-Americans. Why does Congress subsidize the tobacco farmers when they know that tobacco use does not promote the general Welfare of the people? Is this subsidy Constitutional?
