[quote="Short Hand":45fc1][quote="TGB!":45fc1]Quite frankly, I refuse to live in a country that handicaps progress over a pseudo-belief in equality that levels the playing field to accomodate for weakness. Do people have it tough - sure they do. 5% has it damn tough. But what about the other 95% This is a case of the minority dragging the majority down. Is that progress? No. Not at all. Competition breed progress and change. [/quote:45fc1]
History's tyrants would agree with you. Where is a sense of compassion ? Tell me will all that money make you happy ? If won't I for one envy these country's for what they do and what they represent. They are an example all other nations should take a lesson from. Equality makes people happy, and is something that shows someones Ethics better.[/quote:45fc1]
Yep. We live in a society and a culture that say money is what you live for. You should work as hard as possible to achieve money and to keep up with the jones'. It IS tough to try to see beyond that, I can agree. But if the jones' were a laid back family enjoying eachothers company with MR, jones working spareingly, wouldnt you do the same? Like I said, It would not be easy to work socialism into America.
