I suppose I could write Shakespeare with the Consitution if I just pick and choose words at random. Your two excerpts don’t even remotely add up to Social Security, even if they were placed directly together in writing.

I could use what you strung together to create income tax-funded death-camps, according to your logic.

Fortunately, there are limitations in the Constitution on the Federal Government over what it can do with its powers, at least supposedly.

“pick and choose words”

It’s not done at random, but via skilled leftist lawyers.

“The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes”

Amendment XVI

Your hard-earned income -> property of the United States

“The Congress shall have power to dispose of the..property belonging to the United States”

Article IV, Property Clause

Congress has the power to take every dollar you earn and throw them all into a Waste Management truck, or into welfare recipients’ bank accounts.
