This system does not work. If you think it does, you've never tried to climb from the American lower-middle class to something better. I congratulate you on your fortunate birth (or contentment with poverty), but if you think a majority of the American public is on the verge of armed revolt because they're "lazy sacks of shit", you have no fucking idea what you are talking about. | |||

"Democracy, Republic: What do these words signify? What have they changed in the world? Have men become better, more loyal, kinder? Are the people happier? All goes on as before, as always. Illusions, illusions"
"It is both the duty and responsibility of the world's fortunate few to help fulfil the legitimate aspirations of the unfortunate many" "That which man dreams of and to Which he aspires, unless fulfilled in his own lifetime, can produce no actual satisfaction to him. It will be self deceiving and a waste of time to advocate dialogue with those who are not ready to listen, because it is obvious that the freedom of millions is not a commodity subject to bargaining. It is better to die free than to live as slaves. " Advice from the Greatest Leader of the 20th Century Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia! [You must be logged in to view images.

The fact is that the government already has more than enough money to achieve everything you've stated. Read your complaints -- they're almost all government-focused. Like I just posted above, we already spend more per-citizen on health care than any other nation in the world. We could feed every homeless person in America 3 meals a day every day for less than what we spent on foreign aid to Egypt this year. It's not about the revenue. It's about the priorities. Whether you see them as representative of their constituencies or not, the leaders in government do not particularly care about infrastructure or public works. Education? Meh -- that's what the internet is for. Shelter for the impoverished? Not a huge concern. In fairness, food they do provide. If you're starving, you're not using the public funds and programs at your disposal. You may not be well-fed, but you won't starve to death. But the point is that more taxes are not going to magically fix this. Do you realize how much our government spends? We literally are so deep in debt that if you had spent $1 million every single day since Jesus was born, you wouldn't be as deep in debt as the United States. They're not strapped for cash. They just genuinely don't care all that much. There are a million things they're trying to juggle and pursue, and in the grand scheme of things, they don't care how well the bridges hold up, or whether homeless people have a place to sleep every night, or whether your kid knows that dinosaurs didn't build the pyramids. | |||

YOU selected a field that did not offer the career options you find acceptable and somehow that is anyone elses fault but yours. YOU decided you had to go to a "top university" instead of one the myriad of others that teach the exact same shit. YOU decided that the tuition was acceptable when signing up, probably because YOU did not have to pay for it, but rather your family who you have selfishly put into "financial ruin" to pay for your worthless fucking degree instead of putting yourself through school the way someone with a sense of dignity and self worth does. YOU are what is wrong with the country, not wall street and those "eeeeevil bankers" armed revolt? against who dumbfuck? bank of america? lol | |||
