Re: The poor are not getting poorer

How do you put limits to what can be expected. As soon as you do
then you will have someone else saying he gets that why don't I. You
are trying to game the outcome without gaming the input. It all goes
back to what Maggie Thatcher said, "Socialism works well until you run
out of someone else's money." You are trying to game the system on
someone else's money or work or effort to learn so you can do more. The
whole idea of capitalism is that you are the decision maker on what you
will be able to do. It is strictly up to you and what you are willing
to put forth to get from where you are now to where you want to be. If
someone else does it for you, then you will not value the effort
required and will just keep wanting more. You are like a baby chick
waiting for mommy and daddy bird to come feed you.
