Opus 2013-232: Cornerstone Considerations: CUSA, the New Nobility

Two places the Constitution of the United States forbids the granting of titles of nobility.  The first is in Article 1, Section 9 the last clause.

“No title of nobility shall be granted by the United States:...”

The second refers to the states and is found in the next paragraph, Article 1, Section 10

“No state shall ... grant any title of nobility.”

Historically a title of nobility was something which said a person was better than others simply because of blood or royal decree.  The lower classes had to make way for you, bow to you and follow your orders.  You often were exempt from taxes and fees.  You wore special colors and materials.  You received preferential treatment.  You lived high and had to contribute nothing.

I submit that the welfare classes have become the new nobility.  They live off the sweat of the laboring classes and produce nothing.  They get preferential treatment.  They are becoming a burden on society and are very arrogant about their rights.  We coin phrases such as “welfare queens.” 

I submit that this is unconstitutional.
