no one in the US starves to death at all. there is free food forever. the poorest, most jobless and homeless people here are doing pretty well compared to the entire world. that being said, i dont give a forget about the rest of the world. they can solve their own problems. but here in the US if nothing else, we have proven that handouts do not improve people. creating a dependence is the new slavery. and the left love it. people should be allowed to earn their own wealth, but they should not be guaranteed the same level of wealth as others, because that defies actual opportunity. |

They earn more than 1000x what their workers make, what's so hard about their job to justify that? Why is Bill Gates, a retired man who literally does not work, deserve to be the richest man in the world? I know he has made a massive contribution to society, and he deserves to be rewarded. But why allow him to stockpile loving outrageous amounts of money that he physically couldn't outspend, even if he wanted to? To protect his feelings? So he can feel good about himself when that number rises to even more unfathomable heights? He doesn't even intend on passing all that money on to his family (not that it matters, he's already cemented their position in elite society), what good is that wealth sitting dormant, while people continue to starve to death across the world?Why not allow people to earn the value they create? That 50¢ bag of flour doesn't mean stuff until the baker sells it as bread. --- End quote --- If getting rich is so loving easy compared to labour jobs then why don't you get rich and donate all your money to poorcigarettes? |

if you could make $20 an hour bagging groceries there would be no reason to better yourself and actually contribute to society, people would just choose the easiest way of life. There would be nobody to fix the roads or maintain public transportation when they break down. |
