Only thing guaranteed in life is DEATH, and taxes.And now we're getting to the root of the debate.
Should a middle class income be GUARANTEED as a result of hard work? Janitors work hard. So do ditch diggers. Should they be paid $75,000 a year? Cops avg about 40K a year. Teachers and firemen too. They love their jobs anyway and seem to live nice lives.
To have FREEDOM also means risking the chance of failing. We can do whatever we want.
But if one chooses to pursue a life as an artist, or blogger, or rapper, or basketball player, and fails, don't cry to everyone else at age 35 when you aren't earning 75K a year working at Subway.
We are free. We are free to choose our path to a career. To guarantee and outcome is to remove freedom.
Since when is an income truly "guaranteed"? that's the problem. People expect everything to be guarenteed when that's simply impossible in life.
Im not so certain about the first one
