Everyone living in America is privileged and even the poor which will always be amongst us. Living on the government when you can work for your living Is looking for a handout. If you're not Disabled no one owes you anything.
Those that are poor are privileged , that they can get Assistance here.
American has helped other Countries in proverty at to times.
Live in a proverty stricken Country and you'll see how Privileged we are in USA.
i totally agree. But the point is not about looking at how much worse other countries have it, that can be done about ANY TOPIC people complain about.
The point is only to combat the animosity WITHIN our own country that so many are holding that success and/or need are all and only about character and 'merit' and 'earning' it. when there are so many other factors of privilege that weigh in.
I m sure this is another thread of many about people needed ASSISTANCE!!!
Point is US has many people that think government owes them something.
Nada....No. It doesn't other than make wise decisions for economy and protection of USA
People need to work for a living and earn their own living. Stop looking for government to kick In and support their desires as well as their needs.
yes. The day was one where I was fed up of other thread where there were constant interjections and examples of people in need talking about them like scum.
Point is the government IS Of they people, BY the people and FOR the people.
so yes, in so far as it represents people, it owes people to be represented.
People do need to pay for their life. many dont do it by 'earning' a living many do it through inheritance, others do it through good fortune, others do it through marital common property laws. Life is both need and desire, and there really is no way to seperate it into one OR the other. There is only the skill of balancing them both in a reasonable manner.
People by and large try to support their needs and desires, but when they hit hard times, they look to the government that has been looking to them, and the government in turn provides the nest egg for them that they provide to others in their lifetime. its a circle of community and general welfare for all those represented in the community.
Jobs dont grow on trees, it is a highly competitive job market, things like having specific skills education and proximity and transportation all factor in to how long or how difficult finding a job can be. and people in the interim try to stay above board until they can find that job.
yes, people feel 'entitled' to things regardless of financial class. But when the merits of the 'entitlement' are framed in assumptions about inferior character or value for the poor and a necessary and reasonable expectation of the elite or well off, it becomes dangerously disenfranchising and harmful.
I don't think people are scum just because they are Poor. There is always going to be poor people in the World. I Know poor people who are respectable and good people. Some people work but make little money.
Iam far from wealthy but I worked for years and years !!!
Your character is what makes you Scum. Like lazy people who don't seek Work! Yet don't have any disability. They have children , cannot support them and the dad's a dead beat. These are bad Choices. Then they want to talk about all the people that have money. How do they even know how people aquired their money.
I m not talking about the polititians and officials in government. Like Obama and others.
Just because a woman has children is no reason not to work! I workked with many women that was raising a family.
Criminals are no assest to society and hurt innocent people. They murder, and committ all sorts of unspeakable crimes. I think the are Scum.
People come to US with children and expect US to pay for their wellfare!
