| "No. I have read about welfare reducing poverty. I'm sure you have, too." Only in the short-term. In the long-term, it creates generations of people completely dependent on the government, never really getting the chance to get themselves out of poverty. All of my extended family are like this. They don't work because the government gives them enough to live. "No. I have read about public schools outperforming private charter schools." Where is the proof of this? In my area, the public schools are terrible. It sickens me that I have to pay taxes to support them when they just continue to spiral downward. It's also impossible to get rid of bad teachers, because whenever some sort of solution is suggested (for measuring effectiveness), the unions come back and say it isn't possible. "The question isn't whether or not liberal policies solve problems far more effectively than Republican policies. The question is how quickly you will accept that truth" Most liberal solutions that I've seen leave out human nature and a history of complete failure and re-dress it as something 'new'. |
Where are these magical people that aren't dependent on government?
Are you one of those? How do you travel? Do you build your own roads? What do you do for mail? Do you use UPS for all mail, and they use their own roads?
Did your employees learn literacy from private schools? Or did government teach them? How did they learn to follow work instructions?
I would like to find these magical people that aren't dependent on government. They sound like they are awesome people. Maybe they also have guns to defend themselves from invading armies, and have fire-proof houses?
You are dependent on government. You can ignore your ego that actively harms you by telling you that you aren't dependent on government. The quicker you learn this, the better off you will be.
