What is the level of ignorance or our younger generation? Have they not read the classics "1984" and "Animal Farm" ? Do they not think ? Socialism does not work as it removes all incentive to excel.
One of my college professors said welfare only insured that people did not work and that it was self perpetuating. Welfare is socialism!
Granted we have income inequality in this country. There is not one CEO, CFO or any manager worth over a million dollars a year this is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and they are only interested in filling each others pockets.
When the banking chiefs told congress they need to pay the multi-million dollar bonuses to retain the brightest and best they needed to be fired as it was evident by the ensuing financial mess that they were not the brightest and best. At that point the citizens of this country should have called for ethics investigations of both congress and the banking corporations involved.
No one thinks anything about paying a sports a figure multi-millions, just think a baseball player hits 300 man he is good, not really if we only performed at that 30% we would be fired!
If the money paid to these highly paid sports figures and executives were to be used for jobs and benefits we would have low unemployment, new infrastructure and paid health benefits right down to the floor mopper at McDonald's. It must be handled by the corporations not the government!
Politicians only want to perpetuate status quo not improve anything except for themselves.
We seriously need term limits for politicians and responsibility at the top corporate levels.
