EVERY citizen in this country has the same freedom to make their own way.... there is absolutely NOTHING stopping you or anyone else from becoming successful...
The system is broken, namely because of the thinking of liberals and socialists who think that someone else owes them something for simply existing.... that they need to have the ability to suckle off of the tit of success....
You are owed one thing by this country... and that is the preservation of the country as a whole, to ensure that those freedoms we have are protected.... you are not owed a share of someone else's efforts |
but thats the problem. people are being rewarded unfairly for their efforts. is a CEO getting a huge bonus even when their company loses money fair? did they really earn it?
are you saying someone who is working 2 fulltime jobs and living out of an expensive hotel room because there is no affordable housing isnt trying to get ahead? can that person get loans for college to further their education to get a higher paying job? or that they will have no problem getting a loan to start a business? oh thats right, it's their own fault for being there and not earning enough. they had a choice.
like it or not, certain people ARE limited in what they can accomplish. im not talking about making this a socialistic society. im simply stating that there are disparities in our current system, and they arent all the result of personal choices
