Hello!
To answer your question, it is actually uncertain of it's orgins of who did it first! They made a big rise in the 1950s, and were big in the California Surfing Community.
One of the most important thing is to invest in education. During the early childhood is essential to provide a proper education because these first six years are going to influence in the future of the child about how the children will learn and how many chances to succeed they could have in their futures lives.
The oldest responsibility of government is to protect citizens from violence by creating and applying human rights since the birth. This includes to provide the safety and order, protecting citizens from each other and from foreign causes.
It also must support the economic infrastructure of human connectivity that, in social concepts, improves the capital necessary to live in a dignified way.
This is in my opinion one of the aspects that makes the central courts and the different lines of thought within a single subject so interesting. The clash of ideas that we have in this case is a perfect example.
On one side we have those who look at the current 30 million uninsured Americans, which include millions in Texas, and the undeniable success it had in Massachusetts. Most of them conclude that this mandate is a government success.
On the other hand, we can find those who believe that this is a terrible invasion of the government to the citizen's free will to choose their own healthcare options, they see government overreach, and at the same time an unprecedented intrusion on individual liberties to which there is no justification.
Unfortunately this is something that millions of Americans have been forced into. It's evident how they refused to create a public health care system, and instead give more power to the private sector.
After this short debate of ideas, I will give you one question to ponder on: Which principle is more important? Your freedom, your civil liberties, and your freedom from the government line of thought, or the possibilty of providing health care to millions of uninsured Americans?
I hope this solves your question!
