Yes it was voted on but IMO something doesn't become right merely because it recieved a majority of votes. I value both democracy and freedom but I value freedom more.
Tim, I think you're barking up the wrong tree. As Neo says, we have representatives who vote for these programs and the taxes to pay for them. Any law passed by our representatives that isn't unconstitutional is legit. It may not be wise, but it's legit. If we don't like it, we can attack it from the perspective on constitutionality or we can get our representatives to vote in a way more to our liking.

EDIT: Or we can change our system of government.
