I accept this position. At least you're being consistent.

Everything I've told you has been consistent, you just choose not to put value in the things that don't agree with your own admittedly liberal (though somewhat less than before) outlook on things.  Sorry mommy and daddy didn't fill you in that life is unfair and that you had to hear it from a stranger, but I am ever so glad that stranger was me.

I've learned through life that the only financial situation I can afford to care about is my own.  That, too is consistent.

You might be too old to benefit now, but a lot of people that are like the young you would benefit a lot from a lot of what I'm talking about. How many of you personally know young Americans that would have it a lot easier if they didn't have to worry about health insurance and student loan debt? These things would elevate all young Americans if done right, and I think if we didn't waste so much money we could do it all without even raising your taxes. Having the highest average quality of life is what makes a country the greatest in the world in my opinion. We could be the greatest at everything if we wanted to, if we were willing to do what it takes.

And before you start complaining about the Democrats, you're right. They're bought and paid for corporate trash that lacks a single shred of true nationalism. They hide their corruption behind the guise of wanting to help people. The problem is we don't have a party that actually gives a damn about Americans.

I'll speak for most everyone here and say We don't want the gov't fingers into our healthcare or anymore of our schooling.  Everything they touch with very few exceptions, turns to crap.

Bullshit. That's not the government's job.  More gov't means more things bleep up.  The 8 years of Obama regulations should prove that to you.

@Cyber Liberty

Well,there may have been a few bumps in the road,but thanks!

Everybody has bumps.  "Character" is how one overcomes them.

That's because we let it be corrupt and stupid. I REFUSE to believe that in the United States we can't do better.

Life IS unfair. Life will never BE fair. It isn't supposed to be fair.

We can create more opportunities for more people but we'd rather defend Europe so they can have all of the shit AMERICANS should have. We saved the world with our might and our blood. We are the greatest. What the bleep is going on?

This is another argument for the reason that communism hasn't worked in the past is because the right people weren't in charge.  It's nonsense.

I'd agree with you, if you understood "fair" to be equality of opportunity, not equality of results.  Results are earned, not given.  I don't expect you to agree with that yet.  Someday.  You have all the tools required, chief among them intelligence.

We can if we understand that part about the rungs of the ladder I keep blathering on about.  Other than that, no we can't.

If we had actually good safeguards it would be possible to mitigate the corrupt human element. This is not the absolute best we can do. You don't really believe that we can't do better, right?

Have you ever read anything about the past isolationist policies of the US?

If the government took the money it wastes in Europe and used it to put young Americans through college it would be a benefit to our country. They're going to take your money anyway. Americans should be benefiting from the forced charity.

I agree better is possible.  I do not agree with your idea of what better is.

So your idea is to give them MORE money and MORE power...
Yeah that ALWAYS makes it less corrupt.

I think some kind of compromise between what you think and what I think would be good for young Americans.

We have safeguards, they're written in the Constitution.  Liberals don't like them because they prevent them from running roughshod over a minority of the voters.  It's the continued attempts to tear those down so we can have socialism I'm opposed to.

Absolutely not! My idea is to make them our bitch and force them to use the money they already have on things that will benefit our nation. I bet we could do all of that and lower taxes.

The Soviet Union had safeguards, they were called "Gulags".

We've made it too easy.  That's the problem you don't seem to comprehend.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.
