"Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
“In a democracy, I realize you don’t need to talk to the top leader to know how the country feels. When I go to a dictatorship, I only have to talk to one person and that’s the dictator, because he speaks for all the people.” - Jimmy Carter -
that doesn't mean we can't strive to make it as fair as possible
Why bother? People will still end up making the same stupid mistakes. It'll be wasted investment.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOLKS. IF YOU JUST WORK HARDER!
Dude, it's not religion that's the opium of the masses here. It's that very mantra, the "American Dream".
I won't however think that those that did slightly worse than me, or maybe did better, but weren't as quick on their feet with some opportunities, deserve to live as ****.
It's not that they deserve to live like that. It's that someone has to. If not them, someone else.
Nope just a little bit above living like ****. Just enough to make sure that they are beholden to the sharecropper/company store/governmental entitlement system.
You say that as a joke, but I see that as a "truth".

This is great.
It means that the day the poor finally start burning Republicans is that much closer.
I hope that thoughtful lefties like Che are taking names, so that the poor know who to burn when the time comes.
I Agathon will take a holiday in the US just to help burn Republicans.
Imagine the sight of the Washington Monument and reflecting pool at night, bathed in the light of burning Republicans. Ahhh....

I'd be interested in you telling me exactly how a minimum wage is anything like a sharecropper/company store system."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Nickel and dimed. They make just enough to think they're getting somewhere, but in reality, they're not. Their expenses will be just enough to prevent them from saving just enough to start "making it".

I know, this is the system. The justification is, though "The people who live like ****, or at least most of them, are lazy/stupid. It's THEIR fault, so noone should help them".

When in reality it should be more: "The people who live like **** got the shaft. You can help them if you want, but seriously, it won't really matter whether you do or not."B♭3Comment

Who said I was joking.You say that as a joke, but I see that as a "truth".
aside, I was serious.
Which goes to the point are we attempting to rectify a problem or merely address symptoms. And at what point do we become hooked on the bandaids and painkillers."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson
