Not true. The government helped pay for your education, provided a community to live in, safety and security (fire and police), etc.

As opposed to the career path of living you entire life off of some social program, or relying on some social program to support your bastard children.

Career path is often a result of education or educational opportunities. One has very little control over it.

Or, if you didn't do what it takes to be successful take it from somebody who was and give it to you.

Most of the people do not fall into this category. By and large (90%+) people are not risk takers or their responsibility to their families lively hood and well being prevent them from going up the success ladder.

In the meantime convincing your dumb ass that the reason you weren't successful had nothing to do with what you put in to it. You just weren't fortunate.

Luck is 50% of any one's success. All the talent and hard work does not pay off without luck and timing. This is why most businesses fail.

If you buy in to that it is fine with me, but you have to understand that the end result of that is the people producing the wealth eventually will say screw it.

I wish they would, this will only create more opportunities. What are they going to do with their money? Burn it? As the saying goes, you can't take it with you!

Then who is going to create the next Apple, the government ?

Silicon Valley? Or any number of hot spots in the country and there are quite a few usually close to top universities.


Now that is comical.

The government is not supposed to compete with private enterprise. I thought you would have known that!
