Hmm, seems as if I missed that part in the Constitution where it says the Government has the right to take some of my hard earned money and give it to people that are "Less fortunate". Don't get me wrong, it's not right to let these people suffer like that but it's also not right taking money out of someone else's pocket to give to these people. Many of which don't even have jobs or even try to better their lives. Things like welfare are unconstitutional and the fact that many people praise it and live off it without even attempting to support themselves is outrageous.
Calling upon the Government to help you out for every single problem is not the right answer. I think we can all agree that when the government gets involved in anything it ends up either becoming worse or just flat out broken. People need to stop looking for that quick fix, it's failed in the past and it will fail again. A perfect example would be our economy. Everyone had to be treated fairly, buying bigger homes than they previously could, as well as getting larger loans that they couldn't pay for. Guess who decided to make the call to allow the selling of riskier loans to people? THE GOVERNMENT! And everyone seems to expect these same people to not only fix the problem they started but also fix the problem of poverty and "equality", but at the same time they'd just be hurting things like small businesses in the process who can already barely get by in this horrible economy which was a direct result of their idiocy.
If you want this kind of "equality" move to Russia where they already have the What's mine is yours and What yours is mine policies in place. Look how well they've done with Communism. It's not like it failed for them, right? Last time I checked every single time Communism is tried it's resulting in failure. I have no idea why people are so intent on giving it a try here in America. Call it what you like, it's still Communism. You can spray paint a peice of dog shit green, it's still dog shit.
People need to stop sticking their hand out and asking for help and actually try helping themselves for once. And don't give me that bullshit about some of these people not having the opportunity. This is America we are talking about, and even Obama praises that opportunity, not only does he praise it he also has lived it. He came from nothing and is now going to be our next President. Don't you think it's a bit hypocritical to tell everyone your going to help them out by taxining people who make more than a certain amount of money because it's unfair to the poor and "less fortunate", yet at the same time brag how you went from nothing to the very top of our own Government?
So from what I am to understand, rich people are horrible people because they chose to better themselves and worked hard to get where they are today, and poor people are in need of help because many of them choose to not better their lives but instead ask for handouts. So we help them by taking money from the rich people. And at the same time we can also brag about the American dream and that only in America could someone come from nothing to become our next President! Makes a lot of sense, I get it now!
That doesn't sound even slightly hypocritical to any of you? It's either one or the other. Either these people wont help themselves because they can't, or they can help themselves because this is America: The Land of Opportunity but just choose not to. You can't have it both ways.
