Re: OT: Our Economy (US)
Wr8th said: 'Yes I can argue it when it's viewed as an entitlement that everyone has a god-given right too without the reasonable expectation that they contribute positively to society themselves'
It's exactly this attitude that some people are more entitled to the basics of human existence that propagates discrimination and hatred in the world. I can only hope if you ever find yourself without food that someone with more compassion will be nearby. Who gets to decide what a 'positive contribution' is? You? Me? Whoever it is won't be fair, everyone has their own biases that they lug around. I have already devoted two years of my life volunteering for others, and I didn't even ask them if they 'earned' my help... I did it because all human life is precious, regardless of their value in the eyes of this government.
