I guess that's true if you think most people are naturally bad and useless. I find it hard to believe that European-style safety nets and college opportunities are impossible without mass murder.

@Dexter

European countries were able to establish socialist style systems because each country at that time was like a tiny little planet populated almost entirely by people with the same genetic background,religious background,and historical background. For lack of a better description,call them all "large extended families". Due to lack of births due to the taxation and lack of living space the typical Euro-weenie has,their populations were decreasing. Socialism does NOT allow for decreasing populations because each new generation MUST pay all the living expenses of the previous generation. So they started importing foreigners from 3rd world nations who don't mind living with 18 people in a 3 room apartment with one bathroom to do the grunt work. This works for ONE generation,and then the next generation resents having to live like they live when the non-3rd world citizen of that nation lives a more comfortable life.

The ultimate result IS going to be violent revolution because there just isn't enough money floating around to provide a middle-class lifestyle for everyone,so the 3rd world people are going to start doing what 3rd world people do when they outnumber you,they are going to kill you,eat you,and take everything you own.

Socialism is a Ponzi scheme that only works as long as the drones are kept fat and happy. When it collapses,and it WILL collapse everywhere it is tried,the result is going to be chaos and anarchy.

American,on the other hand has always been a nation of mixed peoples with different beliefs and different ways of living,so a government was created to handle the basics of nation craft,and to allow the people to live their lives the best way they saw fit,for the most part. And for the most part it worked,primarily because our ranks swelled due to an influx of civilized people from Europe who wanted to live and let live,and be in control of their own lives.

Then the 3rd world started moving in and the natives started getting restless in the 60's. Dim politicians saw them as footsoldiers whose greed and jealousy could be exploited,so they have been pushing them and for more of them to come to America in order to destroy it so the leftist elites can then crack down and establish their personal police state.

I've made that point several times and @Dexter just ignores it.  I'm getting a complex.   :crying:

So Republicans will just stand in permanent opposition of all taxes and refuse to contribute meaningfully to the conversation? Taxes aren't going anywhere.

Your view that the government shouldn't take any of your money for the benefit of the nation is not compatible with the real world.

The real world says the more you feed it the more it grows. And the more it grows the more corrupt it becomes.

What you will inevitably get is the exact opposite of your fetid dream.

If making sure everybody has access is the objective then I don't see another solution. I'm open to suggestions.

No, you are not. You have already been told the answers, and refused them.

Those people should be identified and prevented from wasting more resources. We become the greatest in the world by identifying all of our most brilliant people and giving them plentiful opportunities to become educated so they can grow into the people that will make sure America stays on top forever.

You know how that's done? With this meritocracy thing we have called Capitalism and a free market.

Of course it does. People that can't make it in college can be given opportunities to learn trades. I want all Americans to be as productive as they can be.

Ahh so the trades are for those too dumb to go to college, eh?

There are many brilliant people that do trade jobs. Brilliance comes in many forms. I want to help people find their brilliance.

I don't think more public education opportunities will turn out to be a bad thing. Most people are not content with being useless, and I think more opportunities will encourage more people to be less useless.

Right, as our welfare system so brilliantly demonstrates.  *****rollingeyes*****

I will assume you have read the Constitution and what the Federal government is SUPPOSED to do.  If not maybe you should. I'm still waiting for an answer to  my question at # 536.

If there is fault at any previous "privileged generation"...it is wanting their children to have it better than they did. A mistake? Maybe. But you are a product of that benefice. And I think you will want your own children to do better and have an easier life (judging  from your posts). The difference being...you want the government to do these things instead of you as their parent.

Then form a charity or donate to somebody already doing it, like MikeRoweWorks.  That's my favorite charity, he connects donations to promising applicants to Vocational Schools.  Follow my lead, it's OK to do so.  Use Amazon?  Sign up for Amazon Smile and name him your beneficiary.  There's no pain because Amazon will pay it for you.

But for the love of God, don't let government do it, they'll screw it up!

That didn't happen on a societal level. The opposite happened.

That's at least three of us in the tub.  Let's have Champagne!  Or maybe a nice Burgundy.

Brilliance is forged. It comes in fire and heat. You cannot 'help' it at all. In fact, you do the very opposite.

People need certain tools to forge their brilliance, and other tools can make the forging much easier.

Well...that is the biggest bunch of malarkey I've seen you post. I'm outta here. You are very fortunate that the people on this site are so patient.

BTW...you still didn't answer my question (#536)

Of course you probably won't.

I'll use an extreme example to demonstrate my point.

How successful do you think Bill Gates and Albert Einstein would have been if they had been born in an illiterate African tribe instead of the United States? Success is determined by hard work and opportunity. The more opportunity young people have the more they will get out of their hard work.

Your response makes no sense and doesn't appear to address @roamer_1's, @Cyber Liberty's point, and certainly not mine.  Perhaps you could try it a different way?

I'll bet he doesn't note my suggestion to form a charity....or use one already established.

BTW, I prefer a good, rich merlot, but I'm doing low-carb so it will have to be a nice whiskey.
