Let's put it simply.
Leftists talk about equality in terms of wealth redistribution: apparently man is not equal with another if he doesn't receive a portion of his money. Forget the fact that you made poor choices like dropping out of high school or having kids before being economically prepared... You deserve someone else's money.
In my opinion: if you decided dropping out of school was a good idea and if you were then shocked that your employment options were limited, you probably shouldn't be getting a boost up from me just so you can then squander that opportunity again.
And how could you be so inconsiderate to your kids, your own kids, that you do not even prepare for them coming into this world? And now you want our money? I will grudgingly hand over money to any kid that needs a future but frankly, I do not want you getting a schilling from me.
Let's put it simply: I know working class kids who graduated high school and are making decent livings. By decent I mean 'enough money to have a car, an apartment, entertainment, etc.' They are even WHITE and do not get special opportunities for college or employment... How come they can do it but some of you can't?
It doesn't make sense that I could leave the Army today and go and get a job for $10 an hour with almost no training and just my postiive attitude and a high school degree. I know because I know people who have done it.
How come you can't?
I do care about equality...
The equality that I care about is the right to be viewed as an equal before the law and to have the same rights I do.
What about this crazy idea: People rise and fall by their own actions.
The government gives you school; the government gives health care to the most underprivileged; the government even gives no interest loans in certain circumstances. The government lets you speak your mind, lets you vote, lets you assemble, lets you have privacy and guns and your own property... What more does a man need?
I also do not care about the average working person anymore than I care about the average rich person or poor person or anything.
Sometimes people forget that we cannot all be millionaires. They also forget that not all of us want to be millionaires.
I have chosen not to be a doctor or a lawyer or some intrepid businessman, just like most of us here. We all have the option of working hard for our dreams but... Do we have a right to have our dreams handed to us on a platter?
I've always wanted to be some inspiring novelist or artist or rather just some guy that intellectuals can "Ooh!" and "Aww!" at. But I sort of realized a long time ago: Novels do not write themselves nor does brilliance shoot out of your fingertips when you pick up a brush.
I do not think it is going to happen, either, if the government suddenly throws money at you.
Happiness is a simple thing -- it is amazing how your big dreams become so small after you find some good friends, an OK job, a really good Beer and some good music... Everythign just seems so important in the face of God's gifts that the notion of being 'rich' seems irrelevant.
I'll spend my evenings and weekends relaxing, thank you very much, I have no desire to climb a corporate ladder or spend 7 years in college and 3 years in residencies.
Happiness is finding a job that isn't miserable and a few beers on a Tuesday night in front of your TV or a raucous post on Christian Forums...
If you were expecting more out of life you should probably just look at yourself and not the government for the answer.
And if you expected more than McDonalds when you dropped out of high school I doubt any amount of money will save you from the stupid path you have chosen.
Poor people in America have TVs and cars. Heck, middle class people in Korea sometimes do not even have cars -- we live like Kings and then complain. There are people who spend 6 days a week working 12 hour days so they can afford a modest apartment and $2 bottles of soju on Saturday night... But it is too much for some Americans to work for $10 an hour 12 hours a day, five days a week.
I don't think I have ever worked a 9 to 5 job. The Army is more of a "5 to 5" job. But whatever. It's simple stuff and you get money.
The Government should not babysit us and hand us everything that we want lest we become lazy and keep empowering the government to seize our property and redistribute it. The last thign we need is a government who thinks they know what is best for a country made up of people of every race, every religion, every lifestyle. France's 500+ cheese do not have anything on us.
One thing really separates a lot of Republicans from Democrats and that is Faith;;; both Faith in God, but more importantly: Faith in Man and in Themselves.
We go to Church and have jobs and we know that we do not need a lot more... So why should the government give it to us?
It is ironic that often times the working class and rural areas vote for Republicans but it really is quite simple... The guys who have jobs do not need your government handouts, so we do not vote for them
Sorry Obama, Sorry Ted Kennedy, sorry John Stewart -- we don't need you to have better lives... In fact, we'd be better off without you telling us we need you.
You are not heroes.
We are more heroes than you. We don't depend on convincing people they need us. We are not convincing people they are worthless without us.
You're selling us broken dreams -- we already have our own dreams without you. We don't need your hope and change because we have our own. You're not heroes. You're not great. You're trying to turn us into parasites as you are the used car salesmen of our wills trying to sell us a handout at the price of our dignity and our vote.
We work and get paid. You convince us that isn't good enough. And then you get the people who do not work (Hollywood) to try to convince us we need you even more. That's pretty ridciulous.
We don't need you. We can do it ourselves. Enough said.
