MR. JUSTICE ROBERTS delivered the opinion of the Court.
Congress cannot, under the pretext of executing delegated power, pass laws for the accomplishment of objects not entrusted to the Federal government. A tax, in the general understanding of the term, and as used in the Constitution, signifies an exaction for the support of the Government. The word has never been thought to connote the expropriation of money from one group for the benefit of another.The federal union is a government of delegated powers. It has only such as are expressly conferred upon it and such as are reasonably to be implied from those granted.
U.S. Supreme Court
U.S. v. BUTLER, 297 U.S. 1 (1936)
But in 1937 President Franklin Delano Roosevelt threatened to abolish the Supreme Court if it continue to oppose his welfare-warfare schemes. Thereafter the Supreme Court Justices caved in in order to avoid a Constitutional crisis.
And So My Fellow Americans:
(1) Are welfare-warfare laws and regulations mandatory on all Americans?
(2) The welfare-warfare state has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither swarms of officers, to harass our people, and eat out their substance.” ...History is repeating itself. What should Americans do to defend themselves?

Just for clarification, the Justice Roberts in this case was Owen J. Roberts, a Hoover appointee, who served from 1930-1945 - not the current Chief Justice, John Roberts.
Since the phrase welfare-warfare state, seems unique to you, would you please provide a workable definition?
BTW: The commentary in your questions obliterates objectivity.

Well here is a Link to a website which supports the Constitution, Individual Liberty and Capitalism:
The Welfare-War State’s Monetary Crises
Jacob Hornberger's Commentary
That means more debasement of the dollar, as I have long been predicting. Welcome to Welfare-Warfare State 101. And my hunch is that we ain’t seen nothing yet! Prepare yourself for some precarious financial times ahead, as the welfare-warfare expenditures continue to soar out of control. As the dollar crisis magnifies over the next couple of years, you can thank the federal official or your congressman the next time he’s in your community talking about “rebuilding” Iraq or announcing the latest “free” federal grant for your community.
I just noticed this.
It sounds like you are about to make a campaign speech.
Are you addressing just the Americans on the board, or are those from Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, England, etc. excluded from the debate?
