The generalization of the poor is a political thing for the purpose of usery in order to gain or retain power now.
Yes, men and women are born equal as human beings, but somewhere along the way a split happens. So depending on the choices made by each and every individual in life, then these splits cause each and every individual to either go forward or backwards in life.... This is always based upon those choices made. The punishment of those who make better choices in life, where as such a punishment otherwise as being in regards to those who make bad choices in life (the way that it is going) is absolutely not how it should be done in America against those who make good choices in life.
Ever heard of "we as a nation must lead by example in the world", otherwise if we want to claim our nation as being exceptional, prosperous, moral, and decent in the world ?
Otherwise ever heard as to how we are to be a beacon of light in the world for others to see and maybe gravitate towards ?
Well we can't very well do that if we are being punished for leading by good example right ?? This idea that the good folks should be blamed and punished because of those who make bad choices in life is about as ridiculous as can be. It just don't get any more stupid than we have allowed ourselves to become anymore.
In another world (read "country") this all makes sense. It is perfectly logical. But we are talking about the U.S. In the U.S. opportunities are smothered right from birth if a child is born 'on the wrong side of the tracks" so to speak. But this problem goes deeper than just that. Let's avoid the chicken or the egg for the moment. If you (or I) have not had the opportunities growing up then it is difficult for us to guide our own children in the right path to education and (maybe most importantly) self-discipline in studies. It's a perpetual dilemma that affects generations.
Didn't this thread begin with the attributes of Socialism? Right. In a well-functioning socialist environment, EVERYONE has the same opportunities and it will be the individual performance and inspiration that will decide how far (or in what direction) the individual will take. But this is not the way the U.S. conducts itself and the problem is more complex when you consider the employment situation and wages. Look, in a perfect world everyone will have equal opportunities and there will be jobs for each and every citizen. A pipe dream? Sure. But reaching for that dream is not something the U.S. is working towards while other nations are. So the examples you give above are excellent but the situation you describe is not found in the U.S. It is found elsewhere.
The Demon-crats are complete power hungry radicals who will use anything and everything to hold power. They can't make lives better, because they absolutely don't understand how too.
The problem is not with any rift between the Democrats and the Republicans. There is little difference between the two at the end of the day. Politics, of course, lies at the bottom of the matter but it is because neither of your choices are going to lift the American population up. The only way that can be achieved is by revamping both the Democratic and Republican political philosophies and/or introducing new parties with deeper commitments to the American people. However, unless the U.S. rids itself of the Military-Industrial Complex (and any other
corrupt entity) such as the arms industry, the pharmaceutical stronghold, the tobacco industry .... then each and every political endeavor is going to be
"bought off" and you'll never make any progress. How to break that trend? Man, I wish I knew. I don't even want to pronounce the word "Revolution".
