| SciFiBoy said: you really dont understand what im saying, not everyone is a workaholic who wants a job that pays 100k a year, many, many people want a job that pays a decent living wage and that they enjoy, working hard does not allways reap rewards, some people just arent as good as others at doing certain things, youre assuming all humans are the same, which is utter bullshit, we are all individuals, why should i be forced to pay for my healthcare and education just becuase i didnt get a job that pays me as much as yours, maybe i want a job thats right for me? |
If someone is not a workaholic then they better be ok with not making as much money as they would otherwise. Nobody is forcing poor people to be poor. Life isn't fair, true, but the more effort you put into bettering your social class, the better you're gonna live.
The whole mindset of "the government will provide for me" will likely lead the US to ruin, eventually. It makes people lazy and unwilling to work harder and be more economically productive when the government gives them something for doing nothing. This was a big reason why the Roman Empire collapsed. Also this past century we saw it happen with the Soviet Union. Socialism just has no long-term sustainability, sorry.
