Does the Constitution offer interstate highways? Does the Constitution offer police protection? Does the Constitution offer Social Security?
If you want to say the government shouldn't do anything, that is fine. Put up a high fence and get your canned food and shotguns ready. Personally I prefer the society we live in now.
