My point was an observation of culture, why things work for some countries or peoples but not in others. The American culture of exploitation seems to exist at every level of society, impeding economic growth and aggravating the cycle of poverty, and the responsibility belongs as much to mercenary CEOs as welfare queens and most everyone in between We seek to resolve problems like poverty by throwing money at them, while other countries have a more infrastructural approach, or at least that's how it seems |
I don't think it has anything to do with a "culture of exploitation", and has everything to do with a moronic level of partisanship with few people who are willing to evaluate whether the party they support actually stands for anything that they truly want. I could be wrong but I think part of the problem is the two party system within the United States ...
If there were a couple of up-start political parties threatening the Republicans and the Democrats by actually standing for what people believe these parties stand for you would see the Republicans and Democrats forced to adapt or die. In Canada we're seeing something similar as the long-standing Liberal party of Canada is facing extinction largely because they became corrupt and more interested in obtaining power than providing competent government.
