The thing about working and making money is that you spend it and it makes jobs for other people.

Glass empty/ full and it is always empty with you.

I am not talking about something that happens overnight , but the less people work the less demand there is for products and there is a circle.

If everybody in this country was educated and ambitious things would improve.

The more drop outs and government dependents you have the worse it will get.
so you demand the same thing from someone who grew up in poor housing, exposed to lead paint during their childhood and the subsequent brain damage?

You doubtless approve of the ten hour workdays that give parents little or no time to be involved with their childrens schools?

Yes sonny you really need to read Aristophanes "The Birds' because if anyone is living in Cloud Cuckoo Land it is you.
