I'm not detecting sarcasm...

I don't understand how any grown adult can look at America, with its history of socialism for the rich, and rugged individualism for the poorest and most vulnerable, and say with a straight face that 'good people get good rewards' in America.

Aaron, try and open your mind to the idea that some of your opinions actually aren't that good.

The UK and America are dramatic examples of societies where the absolute worst people are highly rewarded and unaccountable, while the best people are smeared, marginalized, and even tortured.
