Well, I'm sorry that you are unable to actually comprehend how the world works.

Here is my economic opinion, and I will use an analogy so you understand.

When every human being in the US is born, they are given a set of tools to they can utilize to improve their lives economically. Those tools include the ability to go to any school they strive to go to. To go to any University they earn entrance into. To work any job they qualify for. To live anywhere they can afford to live.

All these tools are at that baby’s disposal over the course of his life. What he does with those tools should be of no concern to Government. His outcome based on the use or lack thereof, should be of no concern to government.

What government is for, is to make sure those set of tools are available for everyone.

What the heck are you talking about? You start talking about something completely unrelated to the discussion and act like you've just proven your point.  Surely no one would argue that we dont have more social rights today than we did in the past, but that has nothing to do with the decrease in minimum wage over the years.  Unless you are arguing that civil rights comes at a price, and that price is lower minimum wage and a larger gap between rich and poor.

Combustion occurs when methane and oxygen react to form carbon dioxide and water.  And Ronald Reagan was the 40th president.

 

What I am talking about, is if everyone has the opportunity to succeed, who gives a shit if they do?

 

As long as everyone can take advantage of the system, why do you care if some don't?

 

I guess the reason I am stating the things I am in this thread, is as long as people can achieve, this thread is pointless.

 

In other countries where based on your race or your sex, you are limited in what you can achieve, I can see the requirement to fight for economic equality.

 

In this country, the individually has the responsibility, and means, to fix it for themselves.
